Can anyone tell me when the name Simmons was no longer used on knives? From what I've read it would appear to be 1940, but I'd like to be sure.ThanksBill PerlmanContinue

I can't find any markings on the knife itself, but the sheath seems to be distinctive. Can someone identify the maker?…Continue

"I do not see a fuller (groove in blade for bloodletting) in picture, so yours should be the hunting version. I have one also, but I believe mine was used in WWII as it does have the fuller. I agree that there does not seem to be many…"

It all depends on the purpose for cleaning, how/if you use that knife, is it a patina or rust (and patina opens up a whole new world of debate), type of steel, collector knife or not...the list goes on. LOL

Personally, I tend to tailor my advice to the criteria above, so I'll wait to talk to you more about it. Meanwhile, try poking around in HERE for some information. Also, if you scroll all the way up on any iKC page, there is a Search field in the very top right corner. Try putting "cleaning" in there and see what comes up. And join us in the Chat, and ask any members in there what they think. Hope to see you there!

I only like shiny knives, on the other hand, I buy old razors and do as little cleaning as possible.

Strange isn't it.
