Alcoa Steel

[UncleJak]

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Made in Alcoa, American made pocket knife. My great grandfather was a blacksmith and went to work for Alcoa steel . I don't know much about this knife, but it means a lot to me. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Man this is really freaking awesome!   Can you tell me if the blade says Alcas on it ?? Alcas is today known as Cutco. This knife is most likely mid 50's It is also most likely pretty valuable! Hold on to this knife!  Also It was probably made by Case cutlery Alcas is  at the time was Case and Alcoa combined!!
