Here are a few more. First pic is two Simmons Hardware Co. Germany whittlers, with the hornet stamped on the back of all blades.
Second pic is: a 3 1/4" two blade jack marked Simmons Hardware C., then a 2 3/4" lobster marked EC Simmons St Louis, and then 2 7/8" 4 blade senator marked Simmons Hardware Co. All three have a Keen Kutter etch.
