That's a good looking knife, Harold.
Beautiful covers, but you already knew that. ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Very nice knife, Harold. Sellens says 1921 through to 1938. Looks to me like earlier in this time period than later.

I would like to know what the punch is? I have a bunch of punch info, pictures are hard figure and the description is hard also this is patent material. The punch has that edge that lays over the handle material, also has a nail knick that seems unnecessary. Also easy opening cut into the handle. This is hard to see in pictures. Hopefully someone will know. Thanks Harold

I have a similar KK stockman I got at a Texas pawnshop for $12. Pre 1939, still tight with hard snap. I like to think of the man who carried it for years when Bonnie and Clyde were still around.

I would say you got a deal on your KK. The pawnshops in my area has a pile of old tools, maybe a few guns. I don’t remember ever finding a good knife. Harold

Harold your knife appears to have hammered pins and that would be ca.1920 or earlier. In that era Walden Knife Co made most if not all KK pocketknives.
