My new Moore Maker 5119B 2 7/8" PINK Bone Peanut Knife.
I am just wondering if any one here has ever seen a Moore Maker Peanut ? All my searches not a one Peanut showed up.
After using that phone number on the box (800-658-9374) I found out that this knife was made by Bear & Son for them. The old gent and owner told me he was going to send me a catalog that shows more of them. We had a member (agteacher) that had a store here (Jones) and sold Moore Makers but now is gone. I was told that Queens and (Boker 2 single bladed knives) still make most of their knives to his specks using 1095 steel.
Perhaps this could be a brand of knife some seller could pick up again to sell in his AAPK store (All made in U.S.A.)....

Then I got to checking the web and could not find a one. I called the phone number on the box that showed on E-bays photo. Found out she was made by Bear&Son. Then I noted only one pin. I have other knives made by them and their resale value is not to kool. So I was really let down some. I waited until I had her in my hand. I must admit feeling down when I opened the package and taking her out of the box. I truly had to smile again at her. First looking at the one only pin just made me realize that 2 more pins on this small peanut would look cluttered. The bone color is kool and very evenly colored. The bone must have been very dense. Not like most new Case knives with that Appaloosa Bone look. The handles or some call them scales are very even on both sides of the knife. They also are very close to the bolsters (no space). The blade (1095) is in the center of the knife runs even with the scales. So I opened her up and I was surprised at the big nail nick. She was ez to open the first time for me. Not like some Queens that have very small nail nicks. She snapped open and closed very well. Not like a gaiter but for a peanut she was just fine. This one blade peanut is not a $55.00 S&M, and she is not made in China for $10.00. I will have to say she is one step above the last new Case peanut I bought.
If I remember correctly 
Moore Maker has some knives made by Queen (that's the fuzzy one, memory wise) and others made by Camillus. When Camillus went under Bear and Son took over the Camillus jobs. Then a few were made by Boker, I think.
