A perfect pair, my those are gorgeous and I bet they feel nice in hand. Congrats on finding them!

Mailman brought me this E.C.Simmons Keen Kutter Grand Daddy Barlow. I like the bone scales. Blade is pretty full and has good snap. Its Big and I like Big Folding Knives. I think I`ll Keep it.

I found this picture in a cardboard tube in a box of old pocketknives. Does any one else have it?
Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
I've seen it, but I don't have one.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
This pocket knife arrived today. It was in a group of pocket knives that I bought for one, particular pocket knife. This is NOT that one, particular pocket knife. This is a KEEN KUTTER "K1", 2 blades, 3 3/8" closed, 2 tang stamps pocket knife. It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
I picked up this Keen Kutter ebony barehead jack at the antique mall yesterday. It is 3 5/16" OAL, and has steel bolsters, liners, and pins. It has the E. C. Simmons, St Louis MO tang stamp. If you look closely at the photos, it can be seen that the pen blade was a nail file that had the file pattern ground off to make a pen from it. Is it safe to presume that this was done at the factory when the knife was made? Nothing can be felt by running the fingernail down the length of the blade, but the pattern can be seen if the light is caught just right. On the back of the master blade is the very faint etch F5 up near the spine just ahead of the tang. Very tight old knife with good snap, not used or sharpened much.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Is the F5 inked? Probably 3 1/4” buy Kk measurement. F=file 5 KK pattern number. My thinking. Nice knife .Harold

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Looks inked. Do you think the file was made into a pen after it left the factory then?
