Circa 1868-1940. This is the period of time that the E.C. Simmons company owned the Keen Kutter brand. The front of the blade has a faint trace of the Keen Kutter logo. The tang on each blade is marked Keen Kutter. The main blade has very slight movement. The spring is strong. No cracks in the pearl. It comes in a soft pouch.

How It Works
This is a consignment sales website. Folks send in knives to us, we clean them up, research them, photograph them, set a value, and sell them for you (handling all shipping, inquiries, returns, etc.)
A.G. Russell called our pricing a Dutch Auction. The price is set by our researcher, and then every month it is available it goes down in price by 10%.
Prices are reduced on the Wednesday closest to the 15th of the month. New knives are added usually twice a month.
