I would say your Keen Kutter Sleeveboard Pen Pattern Knife dates to the 1930`s and I believe was manufactured by Winchester.

Sellen's guide to Keen Kutter Pocket Knives states that your knife was in the Simmons catalogs from 1924 to 1929. I know of no online access to Simmons catalogs in that date range. I have a 1930 catalog reprint and it is not in there. As Desert Golfer stated, likely manufactured by Winchester.

Nice little pen knife. Congrats Paul!
I have never seen any KK knives for sale in Germany either but I do have one little KK Aluminium pen knife that I became Stan Wade (Ryan).

Tom defantly rare in the uk , not even sure if keen kutter shipped knives or tools to here ? But it's a nice edition to my collection
