Vintage Edge Brand-Original Buffalo Skinner

Manufacturer: “Edge Brand” was a trademark used by the Guttmann Cutlery Co. of New York. Like many American importers in the mid-20th century, they contracted skilled German bladesmiths in Solingen to produce high-quality knives for the U.S. market.

The “Solingen” Connection: Solingen is known as the “City of Blades.” This stamp is a mark of quality, indicating the blade was forged using traditional German methods, likely between the 1950s and 1970s.

Materials: * Blade: Likely high-carbon steel or early stainless steel. The “trailing point” shape is specifically designed for skinning game.

• Handle: This is a genuine stag (deer antler) handle, accented with colored spacers (red, black, and brass/white) and a polished aluminum pommel.
