Bud Brand - Winsted Ct.

[FRJ]

Bud Brand, Winsted, Ct., 1922.
Equal end camper. 3 3/4" closed.

This old Bud Brand has been around for 97 years.
At least one owner favored the big spear blade and another favored bright steel. Too bad.
Pile side covers are cracked but stable and it is still a strong knife.
I'm so glad to have this unusual Connecticut brand.

Thanks for looking.

Hey Joe ,thanks for posting your Bud Brand knife. Love the bone on that one. I hope to find a Bud Brand knife someday.

First one of those I've seen Joe, great find.

[FRJ]

Thanks guys.
I have never heard of this company either, but it is listed in Goin's.
I bought it from our own ratlesnake75. Thanks Mark.

Any other Bud Brand knives out there?

Nice Joe, nice bone, good find. I have a Bud Brand but I packed my knives up for the hurricane we thought we was going to get and didn't,thank goodness. I will try and unpack it on Sunday, they seem to be a well made knife. Thanks for sharing

[FRJ]

Thank you, Bill.
I would like to see your Bud Brand when you get a chance to show it.
Glad the snarley wind missed you.

Nice Joe ... Bud Brand knives are no doubt a rarity - and not much known about them.

[FRJ]

Thanks Lee.
There can't be too many of these around. I wish it were in better shape.
Looking forward to seeing BWT, Bills, when he can show it. I hope it's in better shape than mine and has a better stamp.

Here is my one and only Joe.

That is a beauty, Bill, and it looks like it's in great shape.
Great pictures too.
