Does anyone have any Clark Bros Kansas City MO knives?

Post by Pile Driver »

One of my favorite owned knives is this whittler, does anyone have any others? I have been on the lookout since I got it and curious to see others out there.

Nice knife all the way around and beautiful etch PD ::tu:: ::tu:: ... I'm sorry but I don't have any Clark Bros knives to contribute though they interest me because they bought Waterville, Northfield and I also believe American Shear & Knife in the early 1900s. I also believe Clark Bros imported knives from Germany but do not know the maker.

Very uncommon stamp and beautiful knife! I can see why it is a favorite.

Here is a little 2 7/8" closed pearl Doctor's knife.

Thanks for the compliment and the warm welcome joe.

Yes, the ones passed down are always the most special. I have 7 or 8 old pocket knives from parts unknown that I will post pictures of soon for some insights.

Glad I found this place!

Little whittler 3 1/8” closed.
Marked on all blades, 6 or 9 on back of master blade. It looks to be celluloid. Harold

Clark Bros pearl scales stockman. Just shy of 4” closed. Too bad the back scale is cracked. Nice snap opening and closing on all blades.

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

That is a great looking stockman.
Those spring pins often crack that pearl but that doesn't make it a bad knife, just easier to carry.

I wonder if there could be a bit more accommodation in the pearl covers for an acknowledged moving spring pin.
I have many old used pearl knives that are still intact.
