That was a trick hint! One of the threads in Knife Lore is "Old & Obscure Brands"!!

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

Thanks Charlie.
I just happened across that one while looking for Robesons.

I had a knife with an outer frame like that ,it was a Pine Knot.

Sorry guys, not the correct guess yet.

Terrier?

Sorry Wayne, no.

Remington ???

Sorry Barry, no.

Anyone take Camillus yet? Just shooting darts at the wall.

Not sure, but no, that's not it.

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

Vintage Imperial, USA.

Kent?

Sorry, no.

Maher & Grosh?

No, not Imperial ?
I had an Imperial folder that looked quite similar.
Could this mystery knife be a contract knife ?

It's possible, but I'm going with what's on the Tang stamps

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!

Keen Kutter?

Hammer Brand???

Utica?

Is it an ambassador?

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!

Oh, thank the gods! Way to go bestgear!
