Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thanks Tom!! I might make this one an EDC ...Still Can’t believe I missed it in my pile of clunkers somehow…I used rust erasers on the blades, 20 minutes in my sonic cleaner then just dried and wiped with a little Quick release oil, oiled joints too..here’s the before picture from my original posting of this knife ..

Rust erasers. Glad I asked. (found some on the bay) Learned something new again. Good deal.
And..., that would be a great EDC!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Dale (Orvet) turned me on to rust erasers.. I used to just use scotch bright pads but rust erasers make much quicker work as long as you’re careful not to go too far and careful not to use the wrong grit..If you read this thanks again Dale!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Couldn't find anything by pattern number in Sellen's or Sargent's books, Ryan. But that's sometimes the case; they have a lot of knives but not every one ever made.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Nice job cleaning that one up Ryan, will make a good EDC! It was probably made by Schrade in the 1950s. Sellens only had 3 catalogs from the Shapleigh era to work from, 1940, 1942 and 1958.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Being as how I probably won't be straying too far from the house for the next month or two, I got all of my Keen Kutters out of the safe, oiled them up and put them back into my display case.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Very, very impressive, Dan. Thanks for posting, I enlarged the pic, spent several minutes looking at it, and probably will go back and do so again. That is a beautiful group of knives, kudos!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thanks Ike and Ryan. It is not the best picture, kind of fuzzy on the second blowup. However, I have been trying for the last week, in different lighting, to get a better one, with no luck.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Tell you what Dan – – – ship them to me and I will take good pictures for you then I will ship them back to you on the seventh Tuesday of next month … Will that work? ..seriously tho, sweet collection!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Me too Dan! Jealous! Great looking collection! So that's why I can't find any of those.
Skip & Jerry have all the 72's, Wire Jacks & Trappers, John & espn have all the Remingtons, you & Ryan have all the KK!

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Dan, just a wonderful and impressive collection of Keen Kutters I could look at those beauties for a long time and never get tired of the view!

Really nice, thanks for showing danno.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thanks for the kind comments Roger, Ryan, Tom, msteele6, John, Lloyd and luckydog64.
Thanks for the offer, Ryan, but I think I will pass. I think I get OK pics of individual knives, it is the group shots I have trouble with.
There are still lot's of them out there Tom. My pile of KKs is pretty small compared to one of the other posters on this thread.

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Great looking collection, danno.
I see you have one of those Jumbo Sleeveboards, is it a whittler? Are you using magnets in your display case?

Re: Old Keen Kutter Knives
Thanks John. Yes, the sleeveboard has the blades in a whittler configuration. The smaller blade are a pen and a punch. All of the knives in the display have been posted individually at some time in this thread. Yes, the knives are held on with rare earth magnets.
