Keen Kutter

Post by smiling-knife »

I acquired this Keen Kutter knife recently. Looks like a butcher knife or some sort of skinner maybe. The handle looks like cocobolo or rosewood. The blade is aproximately 6.5 inches long and it is 11 inches long overall. All opinions and further information welcome. Thanks.

That's a real nice knife. It dosen't look abused at all. At least the blade hasn't been ground to a nub.
It will be interesting if Knife7knut can find some info. It would be nice to know when that was made.

Nice find, smiling! I don't think I've ever seen a Keen Kutter fixed blade before.
