Recently, this "muskrat" pattern or style of pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my only example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper. It will be a welcomed addition to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a KUTMASTER, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 7/8" closed, one spring, "muskrat" pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "KUTMASTER (over) UTICA, N.Y. (over) U.S.A. (over) V" The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "KUTMASTER (over) UTICA, N.Y. (over) U.S.A. (over) V" (the V means that the steel has Vanadium added to it) The main blade does not have a half stop, but it does have an ok opening and closing snap. The secondary blade also does not have a half stop, but it does have an ok opening and closing snap. The one handle side has a piece missing. But overall, this pocket knife is still in GOOD condition. It is definitely NOT ready to be put out to pasture. It did need a little bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

***** TRIVIA ****
Rearrange and subtract two letters from KUTMASTER and you have MUSKRAT.
