Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Kinda interesting how the handles are inlayed
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Nice posts Dimitri, Mike and love the celluloid on the Remington Keith.
Here are four I found while arranging my sock drawer.
Made in USA PAT APL'D, Keen Kutter, IKCO and original Camco Lone Ranger. Hard to see but the KK had the logo pressed into the handle.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Classic boys knives Wayne ... I really like that Keen Kutter! IKCO made a ton of those metal shell handled knives and they were big sellers in the 1900s!! Hope you are well my friend...

LF&C Boys Knife - 3 & 1/4" - Cocobolo handles, steel liners and bolsters... I am wondering if this knife pre-dated the Universal branding & etch which started in the 1890s based on tang stamp (no Universal etch but of course it is possible that it was wore off)... Both blades stamped the same with LF&C/NB CONN/USA.. I see less LF&C knives with this particular LF&C stamp than others. In fact finding LF&C knives without black rubberoid or celluloid are less common - The only natural handle materials I have seen on LF&C are wood and MOP though my LF&C Fixed Blade Hunter from ca 1880-90 had thick gnarly stag handles... I do not think I have ever seen bone handles on a LF&C...

They really did like using the black comp!
Nice little knife Lee!

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Thanks Dimitri .. Your mention of table cutlery and your jigged bone handled kitchen knives triggered my memory and I would enjoy seeing those jigged bone kitchen knives some time on the right thread ... Anyway Joe and I once were discussing this and when we did a little searching (and Joe may have some LF&C table cutlery as well) we came to the conclusion they made much more fancy table cutlery than pocket knives when it came to handles (not sure they even used rubberoid for kitchen knives?) ... perhaps kitchen cutlery was more relevant to the bulk of their business in appliances and other kitchen aids etc so they made higher quality knives to compliment that aspect - just guessing...

Thanks Dimitri - beautiful LF&C jigged bone kitchen knives ...

Lovely knife Lee! Nice to see LF&C pocket knives in handle materials other than the usual.
