Keen kutter info

[Resophonatic]

So far I have this as a keen Kutter made by EC Simmons company, St. Louis Missouri between 1870 and 1904. I think the handle material is cut stag. It looks like the number on the tang is 0316 8 1/4. I found a picture in google images, which is the exact knife that I have. If anyone has any more information on this knife, I would appreciate the help. Thank you very much.

Bone handles.
Without seeing the tang stamp and a picture with the blades open I can offer no other information.

Probably made by Walden Knife Co., unless it was made by Winchester in 1923-29, according to Alvin Sellens, Keen Kutter Pocket Knives 2004.

Winchester moved all the Walden equipment to Connecticut in 1923 so it would have been made in Walden from 1913 to 1923 (at 3 5/8"), and then at Winchester from 1924 to 1929 (at 3 1/2"). If the OP measures the knife he'll be able to tell during which of those periods the knife was made.
