Keen Kutter

Post by knife-nut »

This knife is on ebay right now. BUT the seller is one you have to wonder if anything has been done to it. I just wanted more opinions about it. http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-E-C-SIMMONS ... 1c1a5f55e8

I wouldn't buy this knife if E.C. Simmons came back from the dead and personally vouched for it's authenticity.

Note the way the nail nick on the secondary runs off the top of the blade. Keen Kutters don't do that any more than any high quality knife. Notice the fine vertical lines on the blades of this knife, one of Myrtlefakes trademarks. There may be some authentic parts on this knife but even if it was authentic I wouldn't buy it from Myrtlefake.

To me...

Looks like an old authentic frame and handles...blades look to be old leftover semi-finished blades...but tang stamps look to be restamped. So a cobbled restamped knife.
