Recommendation? Anyone have one of these old Keen Kutters?

[christusvictor]

I am just wondering if anyone has the specific knife pictured in this bit of an old ad. I have looked for years for a knife meeting these specs and never found it. Or does anyone know of another knife exactly like this [i.e. wood handle, 3.25" closed, sheepsfoot blade]?

Thanks
Ryan

I'm not sure about the length being 3 1/4 inch. It might be 3 1/2 or 3 5/8 inch.
Case 11031SH has Walnut covers, solo sheepsfoot blade, and is a barehead, like the knife you pictured.

(my 11031SH is AWOL, so no picture.)

Thanks afishhunter.
I think I know the Case you mean. I've seen lots of 3.5-3.75" that are single blade sheepsfoot/lambsfoot. Just never 3.25".

This GEC is pretty close...

If I could find one of those at a reasonable price, I'd snap it up in heartbeat. I wish they would do another run of these soon. That or a run of 14's with sheepsfoot.

A. Wright and sons makes one very close to that. A little more basic and utilitarian, but roughly the same specs. I have one on the way myself.

Yeah, the Wright lambsfoot and the Otter Messer anchor are two of the closest, but both are around 3.5. I also had gec 15 in this pattern that was great.

I like the oak covers, a couple of workers right there
