All About Pocket Knives

Please post any Keen Kutter Knife items that ARE NOT knives.
Here is my Keen Kutter Pocket Knives with price guide book.
By Alvin Sellens, 2004, softcover and 239 pages.

Great post Skip.

I have the below two items to share.
The "Salesman Complimentary gift card" with a little Fantasy four blade folder. And a 6" x 9" 50 page book with 100s of Keen Kutter knives.
The book is not dated, however the picture of "Edward Campbell Simmons is dated 1930.

Ryan. A VERY nice, unique bit of Keen Kutter memorabilia.

Skip--Thank you my friend !

I had this on eBay, then found out I am going fishing in Minnesota for a week. I will relish it next week.

Jack--awesome display!

Here are some KeenKutter items I have picked up over the years. I especially like the 2 cardboard signs and the 1907 dated ribbon and pin.

Wayne, what a fun bunch of stuff.

A KK invoice and 2 not KeenKutter but related Shapleigh metal signs. I think it is interesting that the Shapleigh signs seem to invoke a religious aspect to buyig their products. I added a great picture I found on the web of Jennings Hardware in Kosse Texas.

Nice collection of KK ephemera, Wayne! I really like that old hardware store picture!

Here's a Pre-Keen Kutter Simmon's Hardware Co. scale..I believe it's from the late 1880s or early 1890s...I use it frequently, probably at least 2/3 times a month..it is very accurate and holds a calibration forever... little dusty right now from some demolition work in my dining room...

Found this old SIMMONS HARDWARE CO. box with KEEN KUTTER logo on both corners. Scissors are stamped Simmons HDW.CO.INC. 7 inch on one side and KEEN KUTTER on the other. These scissors are really nice.

I have a few pair of KK scissors, they work great..Nice Simmon's box!

Keen Kutter oil bottle...

Keen Kutter adjustable wrench...

Those are cool, Ryan and JKB!


How about an old postcard from September 1, 1911?

Thanks John!!

WOW!!! Just FANTASTIC pieces of Keen Kutter history all around.

Thanks Skip!

Here's an E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter 2' level...both bubbles are original and intact, works great still!

A Keen Kutter axe head lapel pin...
