This morning, these two knives arrived. Both are Keen Kutter K30, 3 blade, "whittler" pocket knives. I didn't clean either one. I took some pictures and here they are.

Here’s that keen Kutter swell end Jack? I picked up dirt cheap on eBay… I love it! A little bit of wobble but I’m just gonna clean it up and leave it alone and put it in my safe for now… Oh… And a picture of Layla making herself at home on the neighbors patio furniture… She’s not spoiled :mrgreen:

JKB—I don’t have that picture but I wish I did!

This isn’t a knife but I figured it would be OK to post it here .. I picked up this EC Simmons Keen Kutter 🔒 lock up dirt cheap on Etsy.. I did a lot of looking in my books and on the Internet and I’m 90% certain it is not a fake… Even if it is I still like it for what I paid for it ... The mechanism works great and I love those 🔑 keys with the trademark shape!

Thanks Duffer!! Keen Kutter is my favorite collectible no matter what it is as long as it’s EC Simmons.. I have a lot of post Simmons stuff also but I prefer the older stuff… I love those jack knives on your profile page!!👍😁
