Vintage Keen Kutter

Post by 1967redrider »

This knife looks very suspicious to me. Also notice the pivot pins, highly suspect. ::mdm::

Has a certain Japanese look about it.

I don't know what it is, but I'm not bidding. What does it say - Sports Knife on the blade and # 3 Stainless on the tang?

Total piece of junk. Looks like someone assembled it from random parts and didn't even bother to finish it off. ::rotflol::

I think you're right. Can't make out what's on the pile side of the clip blade.

I agree - it looks much like an older Japanese-manufactured knife, or rather cobbled from parts of one. I see nothing on it that says Keen Kutter, and nothing that makes it worth more than $1 to me.

I thought about it, but I was afraid that the seller would accept the offer, and I would have to pay the $8.50 shipping!!!
