How about some Keen Kutter Kattle Knives? One of my favorite patterns.

Nothing pretentious about that group. Like a day working cowboy. 'I'm here to do what ever you need done.' Honest, hard working old design and knives.

Some beautiful examples there, Sir.
The stockman is my favorite pattern. All mine are serpentine patterns, though.
One of these days I'll find a cattleman to add to my pile.

I like cattle knives too. Here's my three, four, and five blade ones, all with nickel liners. The four blade has a clip main and the three blade has a saber clip which is unusual and five blade ones are just rare. I like the etches on these too.

All very nice, but that 3-blade, with a long-pull to boot, really trips my trigger!!

Awesome knives, Gunsil. Are those Keen Kutters?

No sir, they are Staysharps for Sears, made by Camillus. Thought your post was about cattle knives, not exclusively KKs. I have a couple KKs, but not cattle patterns.
Thanks Steve! I really like the saber grind and naturally the etch and unused condition. Staysharp may have been made for Sears but these with nickel liners were certainly premium knives. I got the rare five blade reasonably years ago at the big flea they used to have in Charlotte, NC, then found the four blade at a knife show some years later and naturally had to have the three blade to go with the others when I found it on ebay where I had to pay more dearly for it.

Beautiful knives all! I have a couple of cattle knives but no Keen Kutters, alas. One of my favorite patterns of all times.

That's a nice one, Dan, sorry I had missed it.
