I had posted this knife a few months ago when I 1st got it.
I still have not got around to asking NKCA about it, but would like to throw it out there again this time with better pictures.
This was the 2006 NKCA club knife that was advertised as being made by Case.
3 Blade trapper with a Wharncliffe blade.
Main blade is stamped Kinfolks
and there are 2 different pattern numbers on the other 2 blades.
The box is stamped with a matching number.
Obviously I know its not a fake, as it came from the NKCA.
Question:
Why is it stamped Kinfolks and not Case? And what is the story behind Kinfolks?
The handle is Walnut, and very nice by the way, why the 2 different pattern numbers?

And here is the answer! (posted with permission of author)
So it appears as if mistakes were made. I fanyone else has a 2006 NKCA club knife, you now have the story!

So now we all are informed of the story of the NKCA 2006 knife!THERE WERE SOME KNIVES WHICH HAD CASE TANG STAMPS, SOME WHICH HAD KINFOLKS TANG STAMPS. IT SHOULD HAVE HAD A KINFOLKS TANG STAMP. SO IT SEEMS THEY WERE ABOUT HALF AND HALF. THIS WAS A MIX UP AT THE CASE FACTORY. ANYWAY, SOME HAVE A CASE ON THEIRS, AND SOME HAVE A KINFOLKS. I GOT A KINFOLKS, AND WITH TALKING WITH OTHERS THEY WANTE D TO PURCHASE MINE. I KEEP ALL
CLUB KNIVES I PURCHASE. THUS THE PRICE OF THE ITEM SHOT UP INSTANTLY. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IT WAS A MIXUP AT THE CASE FACTORY.
