All About Pocket Knives

Hello,
This knife in picture reads/stamped on tang "Simmons Hardware Germany" on the other side of tang stamped is like a bee in a triangle.
I could not find any info on this knife, maybe something to do with Keen Kutter? Any information would be helpful.
Your knowledge and time is appreciated.
Thank you

That should be approximately from 1900-1940 range. It is a "Hornet" brand knife sold through the Simmons Hardware company, which was sold to Shapleigh Hardware around 1940.

I don't think that's one of the original Simmons Hornets. That knife screams 1970's or 80's. I think it's one of the knives made in that time frame that was associated with Jim Parker or whoever owned the trademark at the time. There are a bunch of other patterns floating around from that same period, many in stag with the same shield.

Good to know Eric, thanks for the info!
