Vintage Kutmaster 3 Blade Stockman Folding Pocket Knife " Purina " Ad Made USA
Item History & Price
This is a KutMaster 3 blade stockman folding pocket knife with a celluloid handle that is an advertisement for Purina Animal Feeds. The bolsters are bright and shiny with normal wear (see photos). This knife is in good condition for its age (see photos), it does have some shrinkage of the celluloid and a little bit of darkening, but you can clearly see that it is a Purina Advertising knife. The knife has been a display knife of late and has had some use prior to... beong displayed.
The main blade is 2-1/4"; blade #2 is 1-1/2"; blade #3 is 1-3/8"; and the overall closed knife is 3-3/8". The blades are tight with no wiggle; and have all the snap opening and closing that they came with. The blades do appear to have been used some and have been sharpened, but not to the extent of damage. The knife has brass side liners and a low level brass center liner. The blades have some very minor darkening common to carbon steel but no active rust and some very minor pitting. The master blade tang says "KutMaster Utica, N.Y. USA".
Note: this is my opinion of the knife, and blades, but you will have to make your own decision after viewing the photos (use the zoom tool) and before purchasing, as the photos are considered a part of this description; ask questions before deciding to purchase, because once the knife is shipped, it cannot be returned or refunded.
This is still a nice looking knife despite the aging, no real serious damage, some wear and no damage that I haven't pointed out (see photos), in my opinion, see note above and see photos. This is a quality knife made by KutMaster, in the USA, and is a knife that can be depended on. This knife would make a good main carry knife for daily use and it is priced right.
