David, those are blade hinge pins, not handle pins, per se.

Re: Mystery Knife Game
I think we might need to start with something a little easier, like a Swiss Army Knife...

Re: Mystery Knife Game
It's possible, but I'm going with what's on the Tang stampskootenay joe wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 9:23 amNo, not Imperial ?
I had an Imperial folder that looked quite similar.
Could this mystery knife be a contract knife ?

Re: Mystery Knife Game
Okay, last hint. Based on the tang stamp, I would say this knife is no later than 1940.
If nobody gets it, I'll reveal it. I want this game to move along so we can see some other knives!

Re: Mystery Knife Game
DING DING DING,we have a winner!!! All blades on this knife have the Keen Kutter stamp.
(Now, whether someone else built this is a discussion for another day) Anyway, I thought it was cool obscure knife.
Tom, it's your turn, pick a neat knife to stump us with!
