Am helping a buddy sell some of his sister's knives from her deceased husband's collection. This is a Central Cutlery Co 3 blade. Anyone know of approximate age on this? Snap is great on all 3 blades.

According to Goins, 1925 to 1926. Very short life span.

It is a shame they had such a short production run; that knife is just plain neat!

It's a product of pre-WWII Germany.
Pretty.

I am seeing a trend with all these examples. Are they produced by hand? The fluting and bolster work looks identical.

German knife manufacturers were not above placing the word, "Sheffield" on their knives in order to capitalize on the marketability of true Englished made cutlery.
I suspect all the above examples were made in Germany.
