I'm doing some work on a antique pocket knife for a friend, he sent a few gifts with it as payment, one was this old keen kutter penknife 0795 G does anyone know its age , are there any catalog pics online, thanks as always for any help, it's my first Keen Kutter and tbh probably my last as pretty hard to find in the uk ::tu::

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

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.

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). ::super_happy::

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 ::tu::
