Nice peanut, Gone2Three! It is a later one (after 1940) from during the Shapleigh era. I think likely made by Schrade?

Appreciate that Dan!

The carving sets were once present in nearly every household. In my home it was used every Sunday for a sit down meal about 2pm. My father would steel the knife before carving the 'joint' (British term for "roast". After dinner i would carefully wash, dry and put away the carving set for use on the following Sunday.
Now i bet very few families use a carving set and if they have one likely it has been inherited from a previous generation.
Seeing the Keen Kutter carving set on the previous page brought back memories of Sundays past.

Nice finds, David!

Here is Keen Kutter barlow that looks and feels like a Camillus. It’s quite hefty and slightly larger than my other Keen Kutter barlows. The tang stamp is EC Simmons, but I have owned several more of this same barlow pattern that had the Shapleigh Keen Kutter stamp. I wonder if this was part of the last run of barlows sold by Simmons.

Let me try that again with pictures. Sorry guys, I’m a newbie.

Very nice barlow.

Thank you David!

I think I own Keen Kutter barlows that were made by Walden, Winchester, Camillus, and Schrade. Here’s my favorite - stamped EC Simmons / St Louis.
