That wide band on your last post w/ pic is very classy as well . Really like the wide band. ! And was wondering about the pin pattern on the 4 line Camillus myself . Have not seen that before on smaller pocket knives .

Here's an old Keen Kutter gents whittler, shadow. 2 7/8" closed.
That band must have helped use up those smaller pieces pearl.

Very nice Keen Kutter !! Read somewhere that was the case with the bands . It makes sense in helping to use up smaller pieces.

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
That knife has a great shape, and the MOP has a lot of fire. Nice! I have always suspected that the band was so that the small pieces could be used, and that if a piece cracked when it was pinned then it was easier to replace.
Those two old knives are in really nice condition.chickenman62 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2026 2:04 pm An E. Dirlam and a Robert Klauss from Solingen and a William Rogers out of Sheffield.
