Magnetic Cutlery Co c. 1900 - 1932
Once had a (about 5 1/4") 2 pc hobo, 2 pc pearl with a nickel silver divider in the center
it was very near mint, looked like a KA-BAR or Union Cut to me, marked the same as this one
A guy that had a knife book had appraised it for $28.00

Re: Union Cutlery co . ID
From a reproduction catalog published by The Union Cutlery Company circa 1912 - 1923
Looks like they were offered in "no stain" steel
sheath shown looks flimsy and rather big for the knife
Sure do like the stag shown on yours

Re: Does the Case Tested bone have jigging like this?
Thank you Ralph for the great pictures, they sure show food for thought
The 1941 Case catalog or price sheet has no mention of a 6380 pattern
The Case 1942 price sheet does not mention the 6380 pattern
The Case 1949 price list does include the 6380 pattern

Re: Brantford Cutlery Co ?
I am confident that Camillus did make some knives with the Brantford stamp. This "have had" whittler showed no signs of being apart for repair, the master also has the 4 line Camillus mark. Easy for a cutler to install an identical, except for the mark, blade.

Assuming this is pattern # 62087, Case price list from 1-1-42 lists them at $18.00 per dozen and the 1-1-49 list show them at $36.00 per dozen. The July 7, 1943 inventory list does not contain any 62087 however this list shows they had these "pkt knives hafted ready to inspect" in the patt...

Re: Help with identification of pocket knife in museum
Not certain but it looks like there is also a fleam blade that is not open, it would be hinged on the bottom or big end
and lays between the stag scale and the liner on side opposite the shield, looks like the end is exposed. This pattern
will really grow on you. Thanks for posting the pictures

Just a super good looking Keen Kutter that has one difference from most pictures.
How many other KKs have you seen with the bottom pin off set from center??
Did they ever have any knives made in Germany??
