All About Pocket Knives

Here is one that is said to be a Canton Cutlery knife, you be the judge:

reading his feedback (9 as a buyer,3 knives-0 as a seller) i would bet lack of knowledge, not malice.

I thought it was funny when I looked right at it, and saw Japan on the blade. If you run a search for Canton, there is another shoe advertising knife, that actually is stamped Canton. Guy may have saw this one, and thought he has the exact same thing, just a guess though.

maybe ncc had a jap branch in 1949.

LOL I think they were recovering from a couple of A-Bombs back then!

These and other novelty style knives with the NC stamp were imported from Japan by the gazillions in the 70's.

I THINK THEY ARE THE SAME TYPE KNIFE BECAUSE:

First of all they are photos from different sides of the knife on each item.

In the first where it says Japan is on the back of the blade in the description he mentions NCC Canton. But there is not a photo of the front of the knife.


In the second, the photo is the front of the knife. Where it shows the NCC Canton. But not a picture of the back of the knife. How do you know it does not say Japan on the back?

Some people photo knives better because they know better.


They look identical to me. Just my thoughts any comments.

Thanks

maybe they were both made in the jap branch of ncc. like knifeaholic said thousands of these and others were cranked out of japan. since only one showed japan, we'll probably never know if the other was legit.
