Nice! I do not remember ever hearing of Kinfolks until a couple of months ago. I bought a refurbished straight razor (E.K. Tryon 3/T) online that had vintage Kinfolks brand replacement scales on it. When I look online, I cannot find a simple summary for Kinfolks history...

Again - very nice knife and picture!

Kinfolks was started in the 1920s by three cousins in the Case family. They produced razors and fixed blades. After one of the cousins passed in the early 50s, Kinfolks was sold to Robeson in 1957, and production continued until 1965.
