1950s Kuno Ritter collection

[BestVintageKnives]

Very fortunate to find a family that sold knives mail order in the back of men’s magazines in the 1950s.

I was able to get the full story of their company. A historians dream. They had several years worth of catalogs. I gave one to Neal Punchard at one of the Florida Gator Club shows since the family sold me multiples of everything they had. And even gave me personal photos of the owner. Priceless!

Among the knives was this rare model. The handles are each one piece, on each side and made of metal. The faux stag was then painted.

Between the knife and catalog its a nice simple collection of Kuno Ritter produced items.
