Thanks guys.
David, that Keen Kutter is in all three pics.
In the first pic, the whole top row are Simmons Keen Kutters. The bottom row is a mixed bag of different makers.

Posted elsewhere but this little one fits here too. Used old Robeson but in nice shape aside from blade loss.

Re: Old Ebony Wood Handle Knives
Great additions to this thread since I last posted. Here's an old rare one that,like me has seen better days, but has an amazing form among it's peers. The pruning blade was originally stamped as the next to last picture, taken from another knife. The last picture shows the remnants of the stamp which still appear on this one.

H. Boker & Co.'s Improved Cutlery.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).
