vintage Kent NY City Sportsman's fixed blade hunting knife camillus Outers With new Sheath
Here is the background history and details regarding this piece:
The Manufacturer: Although the tang stamp reads "KENT - N.Y. CITY - U.S.A.", it was actually manufactured by the Camillus Cutlery Company in Camillus, New York. New York City was simply home to the corporate sales offices (often referred to as "Cutler's Row").
The Brand History: "Kent" was a dedicated house brand created by Camillus specifically for F.W. Woolworth "Five and Dime" department stores. These knives were primarily produced between 1931 and 1955.
Design & Features: This is a classic "Outers" style utility and hunting pattern. It features a carbon steel blade, a distinct steel crossguard, brass pins, and pinned wooden handle scales.
Rarity: While Kent pocket knives and folding fish knives are relatively common, their fixed-blade "Sportsman" hunting models are far less frequent finds today
