This one is brand new to me, and I’ve been admiring it since getting home from work today. Love the tiny little tip bolsters. Makes the knife feel just a bit classy.

Very fine construction all around and an excellently executed splitback (just look at how nicely that wedge tapers).

I must admit though, I don’t know much about Keen Kutter. I just had to have it when I saw it and have not done much research into it. I’m not really finding much about the maker and I’m a bit stumped as to the age and origin of this one.

REQUESTING ANY HELP IN DATING THIS ONE

I know this may not be the right place but I appreciate any help here or someone pointing me in the right direction.

Here’s the tang stamp on the main blade. Notice the “horns” at the top of the wedge. The stamp reads “E.C. SIMMONS / KEEN / KUTTER” and I’m not able to see if there is anything lower on the stamp as it’s covered by the body of the knife in all positions. I can’t really place this specific stamp.

And both smaller blades have a scaled down version of the same stamp on them. Again, note the very small “horns” at the top of the wedge.

Super appreciative of any information anyone may have. My best guess based on the look and construction of the knife is early 1900s, but I’d like to try to get a date range or even narrow it down further?

Editing to add: the back of the main blade has the number 3681T stamped on it.

This old whittler has been sitting on my dresser ever since @Jakeywax31 gave it to me at the knife show in March. Words don’t quite cut it Paul, but thank you.

I am not usually one of those “this came in the mail today, so straight in the pocket” kind of guys. This one’s been sitting on top of my dresser getting picked up and inspected every day. Ok, lovingly fondled.
Time to carry it.
Beginning of a love affair…

This pair is great, Gary. GEC nailed the EO jack. It’s a perfect tribute to my Grandpa’s old Camillus.

Thanks, Jeff. :)
I don't remember ever seeing that pattern when I was a kid, but the first time I ever saw one here I thought it HAD to be a classic jack pattern.
