Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

I just received this old Kutmaster 4" Stockman by Utica. From what I know about these they are hard to date, but from the tang stamp, highly polished blades and Delrin covers I'm guessing early to mid 1960s.
The blades take a screaming edge and it's slim and light in the pocket, only 75 grams. If anyone can date this more accurately, I'd love to hear it.

Try sending the photos to Utica, and ask them.
They dated a medium toothpick I have to "mid 1950's to mid 1960's" (20~40 years earlier than I expected. I "thought" 1980's or 1990's.)
 
With no experience, I had a negative view of Kirinite. But this changes that. Cool material. I wish Case would do a plain yellow Kirinite run, sorta like the yellow smooth bone. Reminiscent of the classic yellow delrin, but with better material.

With the single blade, real similar size to a GEC #86

My newest is a type I didn't know existed - a three spring small stockman (2 3/4"). Sabre USA apparently manufactured by Colonial. Same size as 108OT, except slightly thicker, of course. Not quite as well finished as the Old Timer, but an interesting variation.
