Just wondering if someone has any info on these knives. Tried doing some research and couldn't find much. Picked them up cheap at a garage sale. Made in the USA and seem pretty solid. Thanks for any info!!

Keen Cutter is an old brand. However, despite what they have stamped on them, those knives look to be of Chinese manufacture to me. I'm just guessing, but it's probably another case of an old American Company name being bought and put on knives made overseas. It's the wood used for the handles that make me think this to be the case. All of this is just a guess on my part.

They should be decent work knives though.

Yeah, I'm aware of the old brand, I have a couple of their old hatchets. The knives are stamped-USA, the main reason I bought them. I did see a little something referenced by the 2nd reply about Bear and Son. Thanks for the input.
