Platts mutt

Here's an early folly of mine from a deal about 40 years ago. Pretty sure the blades are Platts and the body could be. The scales are ebony but I don't think the screws are original.The main blade pile side does have the KEEN EDGE stamp. That's the extent of my knowledge on this one. J.O'.

It’s a great looking knife J.O.
Even if a mutt I’d be proud to own it for sure! Never seen one before.

I fully agree Peanut. That pin is the giveaway. Do you think the screws are Miller originals. I don't. They look too big. Thanks.

Jimbo, Sadly that information was lost a few million brain cells ago. All I can tell you is that it was probably 35-49 years ago and probably in an antique or junk shop. I can say that back then I never paid much more than 6 or 8 bucks for knives.
