Hey all.
I just came across four great vintage knives in the same old box:
1) Cattaraugus 225Q, along with pics and paperwork of the guy who carried it in WWII in the Army Quartermsters!
2) Hammer Brand switchblade (button with sliding lock). Not sure what the handles are, but they are supposed to look like pearl. (bakalite?)
3) Old folding Kabar with 3 blades and yellow scales (blade marked KA-BAR Olean, NY)
4) Kinfolks 380 - Here is my question.
I can't find any info on this knife. It is a short blade with a deep and exaggerated belly and false upper edge, which has been sharpened, so maybe it wasn't a false edge. Anyway, it has a wooden handle with leather sheath marked "Kinfolks."
The only marking on the blade is "Kinfolks 380" and K inside a circle, which I guess is the Kinfolks trademark. Do you know anything about this knife or its worth (some pitting, but good condition).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
** Oh, also got a NIB vintage Storm Master lighter (zippo style) that says Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe along with the logo and latin unit motto! Mint. Just like it was issued from WWII era supply only yesterday!
What a load!
Anyway, any info on the Kinfolks 380 is appreciated. Sorry, no pics, camera is kaput.
