Enderes Knives
I was looking in one of the forums that was talking about rare knife markings. The name Enderes came up and they asked if anyone had pictures of Enderes knives. These are ones I have picked up over the years. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Re: Enderes Knives
We see them off and on up here in Minnesota, espically in Southern Mn. because they were across the border in Iowa and many of their knives were made by Camillus. Dave

Re: Enderes Knives
Very nice collection. I'm not familiar with Enderes - guess not many made it to Texas! Thanks for showing them.

Re: Enderes Knives
Great collection J...
Alberta Lea, Minn was where they manufactured tools and cutlery from 1916-1926.Goins says these are marked Ederes in a square. I would have swore Utica made this knife Mr. Goins??
After selling the business he reopened in Iowa (where he started in 1908-1916,before moving to Alberta Lea)and made tools under the mark of Original Enderes.1927-1940. Goins says the cutlery marked Guttenburg Iowa were made by other firms.

Re: Enderes Knives
Very nice collection of what I would assume to be a less than common brand.
Not to be confused with the "ENDERS" or "Wm. ENDERS" branding used as a second line behind KEEN KUTTER by E. C. Simmons hardware.

Enderes catalog 1936. Not my auction, I may or may not bid. No pages shown in the listing are pocket knives.

Re: Enderes Knives
Enderes knives shown in a catalog (from my own archives).
Based on the illustrations of the knives, I believe that most of these were made by Imperial 1920's to 30'3 era, and some made by Utica same era.

Re: Enderes Knives
Thanks Steve for sharing. Goins said they had I think 3 manufacturing facilities when they sold out to E.J.Phil in Minn. and moved to Guttenbert,Iowa. After which the knives they sold were outsourced,and marked"Original Enderes" ?? .
But, see if you can tell which of these is the Ederes and which are Utica made or stamped. You can see it,but also see the remarkable resemblance to the others.
You can see why I believe Utica made my Enderes,no disrespect to Mr. and Mrs. Goins.

Re: Enderes Knives
Lyle;
Goins could only research things to the point that records were available.
Most if not all companies that had contract knives made used a number of manufacturers. I suspect that the contracts changed year to year, month to month, etc. Based on price, availability, etc. Clauss for example used at least four or five manufacturers. Ditto for Belknap Hardware.
It looks as if Enderes hd some high quality knives contracted early on (like your farmer's jack) and then maybe during the depression they switched to lower cost knives.

Re: Enderes Knives
AHHH, Great an "ENDERES" Expert.....
Take a look at this one and give me your thoughts. I got it some time back, bought it as a Boker, but some have suggested it could be ENDERES....Hard for me to tell. Good knife though whatever it is.

Re: Enderes Knives
I'm no expert,by far,many more knowledgeable knife people around here than me. I know a little from collecting these farmers jack.
Your knife sure has what looks to be the remainder of an Enderes stamp.

Re: Enderes Knives
I just got done doing some oiling and rubbing on this old rust bucket I took a chance on for short dollars. I might put some edges on and carry. Does anyone know who might have made this one? Seems German made with the steel pin on NS bolsters. Seems early.

Re: Enderes Knives
Fish knife with the Minnesota tang stamp.(1917-1926).Also catalog prints of knifes from 1926 catalog.
Re: Enderes Knives
I’ve seen that name recently (well, 80s and 90s) on various hand tools. Screwdrivers, chisels, utility knives, etc.
