The more I look at it, the more I think it's roots are Schrade.

(that's not a clue, just me showing off my Google German)

This Hardware Store concern is still in business. Mostly small stores.

Hen & Rooster?

[jerryd6818]

Geen (that's no in Afrikaans)

I'll give y'all a hint. This knife was discussed on AAPK several years ago.

[TwoFlowersLuggage]

lol - that's pretty much the same as saying: "here's a hint, it can cut things."

You let the cat outta the bag Suitcase. That was going to be my next hint.

Orgill?

[jerryd6818]

Orgill?

I'm sorry. Your what hurts?

If that's a guess it is not correct or even close.

If you're not opposed to a little research, I've already given you the best hint possible (I think).

[Mumbleypeg]

Jerry, I’ve already read through 1000 of your posts, looking for it. Only 32000+ to go. I workin on it. Not!

How about Blish-Mize. I think they’re still in business.

Ken

[Mumbleypeg]

Trustworthy. There’s a few of those still around. (It doesn’t fit with the OP stipulation of “no one-offs” but I’ll go with it anyway).

Orgill is a hardware distributor that was founded in 1847 and is still in business to this day. I had posted a picture awhile back of a Schrade knife with an Orgill shield on it and there was a discussion about it. Here is a picture of it. The knife you posted bears a resemblance to a Schrade.

I don't know what the definition of "one-offs" is but Trustworthy it is. Your turn in the hot seat Ken.

[Mumbleypeg]

That’s got to be a pretty rare knife Jerry. I agree with what others have said - it looks like a Schrade to me.

Here’s my entry. No clues to start. It does comply with the OP statement

For now, let's keep it to fairly well known makers, no one-offs or obscure makers. If the guesses aren't getting anywhere, then hints are cool.

Those pins have got me flummoxed...

[Mumbleypeg]

Sorry, flummoxed is not correct.

[Colonel26]

Victorinox?

[TwoFlowersLuggage]

Sorry, flummoxed is not correct.

Ken

Well, then I'm guessing that also eliminates perplexed, befuddled, bewildered, mystified, confounded, baffled & discombobulated...

Robeson?

Robeson?

Incorrect.

I was also thinking "Flummoxed Cutlery" I remember that in Charles Dickens' 1837 novel: "The Pickwick Papers" Mr. Dickens carried a Flummoxed pocket knife.
I shall admit my guess as: "Wadsworth / Kastor Bros?
