Kutmaster 3-Blade Premium Stockman pocket knife, manufactured by the Utica Cutlery Company in Utica, New York, USA. Dating back to the 1940s or 1950s, this traditional slipjoint is an excellent example of classic, dependable American-made hardware store cutlery from the post-WWII era.
The knife measures approximately 3-7/8 inches in the closed position, making it a robust, full-sized pocket tool. It features a versatile 3-blade layout composed of a large clip point master blade with a classic long nail pull, a sheepfoot blade, and a small pen blade. The heel of the master blade features a deep, clear 3-line tang stamp reading "Kutmaster / Utica, N.Y. / Made in U.S.A."
This knife is in honest, well-used vintage condition. The high-carbon steel blades are heavily oxidized, presenting an extensive, dark natural patina with cosmetic pitting and carbon speckling throughout. They have been sharpened over their long lifespan, showing typical steel wear, but they remain solid and fully functional for daily tasks all three blades have snap, and there is no wobble to the blades. The black jigged composition handle scales are in good shape for their age, remaining structurally tight to the frame with no major cracks or missing pieces. The brass liners and solid bolsters show a heavy, unpolished patina that emphasizes its vintage character. Perfect for an entry-level traditional pocket knife collection or a rustic everyday user.
