Another nice one Ike! ::tu:: I don't remember seeing Old Kentucky cigarettes up here, however, I was never a smoker.

Lee, thank you. I was wondering how many more were out there or if another would surface after I posted this.

Dan, thanks for the comment. I had not heard of that brand of cigarettes either, until I researched a little after getting this knife. I never was able to find dates, but I got the impression that they were only around in the early 20th century, so, probably not around in our lifetimes.

Beautiful knife Ike, just wonderful. I don't ask this all that often but if you ever want to sell that one let me know, sheepsfoot blade jacks are my kryptonite.
