Is "Rich" a knife brand?
I picked this little knife up at a flea market. A fellow had a box of knives on his table marked $1 each. I rummaged through it and picked out this one. It is marked "Rich" on the blade. I was unable to get a very good picture of that marking. The knife is a lockback and is also marked "Rich" on the locking lever. That picture came out pretty good.

You got me on this one, Charles. I believe that Jan has one like it.
But if you got it for a buck, you did good. There one on Etsy, as a necklace, going for $32.00.

Thanks again, JJ. I looked at the one on Etsy. It definitely is the same knife. It showed me something on mine that I didn't know was there. I had to look with a magnifying glass to find it. There is a marking "tasty" on the knife. I would never have seen it if I hadn't known it was there and started looking for it. The knife and the markings are so small they are hard to find, let alone read.

It might be a lockback but its also a peanut....
Just for history sake, I am not aware of any knife company named Rich, although from about 1857-1956 there was a knife company called Rich-Con USA. They were located in Kansas City, MO It really stood for Richards & Conover Hardware
This knife is not connected to those folks but I did think the name was interesting.

I think they were made for the Tasty Foods Company. But I do not know of a maker named Rich. Has anyone else seen them?

That sure would explain that Tasty logo there Jan, I was wondering about that too.
