Kinfolks resources

[CampbellAr2]

I post the odd message in our military knifes forum and else where aka "Other brands as I acquire these knives......", but would appreciate some pointers to more info on the history of the brand and its products.....Appreciate any pointers

Is there enough momentum out there for a separate Kinfolks forum?

You might want a copy of the book Kinfolks Knives, A History of Cutlery and Cousins by Dean Elliott Case. It has a history of the company and family as told by one of the founder’s descendants. Published in 2010, 158 pages. Contains reproductions of several Kinfolks catalogs. You can get a copy pretty cheaply here https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Search ... s%20Knives

As for a dedicated forum, I think most folks post about Kinfolks in the fixed blades forum, because that’s mostly what they made. And they made them for a LOT of other companies besides founding companies Case and Cattaraugus. You may already know that Kinfolks Cutlery was founded by Cattaraugus owner Tint Champlin and W.R. Case & Sons owner Russ Case, who were cousins and descendants of Job Case.

Many thanks…I’ll be on the lookout for this book

I know a little of their history, which is dangerous, but certainly appreciate their fixed blades
