STAINLESSS CUTLERY CO...but NOT the one you know...
Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2024 2:05 pm
I just picked up this small senator penknife in a knife lot.
When I opened the blade and looked at the tang, I initially assumed that the knife was a STAINLESS CUTLERY CO made by Camillus.
However, the markings are significantly different on this knife:
Front tang: STAINLESS/CUTLERY/COMPANY
Back Tang: McKEESPORT PA
Whereas, the Camillus marking was always STAINLESS CUTLERY CO NEW YORK CITY and of course without the McKeesport PA.
Any info on this stamp? Is this yet another obscure Pennsylvania knife company?
