Hello and welcome to AAPK.
This looks to be a Keen Kutter Congress.
Will the blades open, and are they stamped?

If it is a KK, they have sold recently on eBay from between $16 and $137 depending upon condition.

They open but there are no visible markings. We searched through the internet to find what it may be and the only thing close was the George wostenholm scheffield knife, or a 50's-60's Boker, a Morley sons knife.

These are a couple of images I found on the internet

Here are the images of similar knives

Here are a couple of Keen Kutters for comparison.
Bolsters, bone, and shield are almost identical on one of these.

Found a couple of decent hoks at the flea mkt. today, a little grimey and slow on the snap but a little cleaning and oiling and they suit me fine, like I needed more ole toters.

bighomer,
Who made the equal end cattle knife? That one is pretty neat.

I got these three at the North Star Blade Collector's meeting today. I've somehow never had a R,W&B Remington, but I got one now. The other two are a Lockwood Brothers and a H.Sears Prussia whittler lockback stag. It has had the two pen blades replaced, but is still a stunning knife and will see some pocket time.____Dave

The shields don't look the same.

Boker on mark side, a tree on the pile side, USA boker I'd reckon. It's pretty sweet it'll get some pocket time fer shor.

Been a while since I posted in here.....lol

that straight blade is sharp looking.

Found this one today at an antique shop in town while waiting for my wife to have her phone fixed(don't even WANT to get into THAT story).Saw it in a case and asked the proprietor what she thought it was as I have had a nearly identical one for several years and nobody knew what it's function was. She said the vendor said it was an orange peeling knife and when I researched it today I found an identical one so described.Apparently mine is missing the little metal chute that goes through the square hole.Mystery is finally solved!
Here are pics of the one I got today(by Pfeilring) and the original one by Ed Wusthof.

Hit the flea market today and found these little critters waiting for me. A nice unsharpened Ulster scout/utility;a Colonial single blade serpentine advertising Dole bananas;a Ranger 3 back spring stockman;and an Imperial Matterhorn Swiss Army style multiblade. Five bucks each.

Great score Knife7knut. All four look in good shape.

Good ones!! Score!

Picked these up at a yard sale yesterday. He started out at $20 for the Case, I left with both for $15. The Ulster 58OT needs work, but a little sharpening on the Case 3207 and it's ready for pocket time.

Picked this Buck 513 up at a flea market yesterday. Used, but not abused.

This one came into my possession today, Sword Brand Camillus Cutlery Co,(4 line on reverse)sleeveboard jack. What is unusual is the celluloid handles have pieces of abalone and pearl embedded in them.$4.

Very nice knife!!
What you gonna do about that celluloid?

Although it appears to be out-gassing it is not. The dark spots on the handles are actually the sides of the abalone and pearl chips.

Boy this week has been a bonanza for knives! Today I scored these from my friend at the flea market.An ERN fixed blade in sheath.There looks like there may have been a smaller knife in the front of the sheath. I had a small dagger I threw in just to fill the void.
Next is another 3 back spring stockman marked " Coast Port USA" that looks a lot like the Ranger I picked up last week. Both knives cost me $20.

Snagged these today:
Imperial Camp King. Bought to clean up and give away to a young knife enthusiast.

Maussner German gentlemen’s knife

Victorinox manicure knife.
