Overview

Based on the tang stamp, an eagle with Cooper inside, this knife would have been made between 1968 and 1978. This is a double edged stiletto with a thickness at the tang of just over 3/16 inch and an edge to edge depth of 5/8 inch. The blade is in exceptionally good condition, close to mint. The leather handle is in excellent condition. While portions of the brass hilt, spacers and buttcap have not aged as well, the blemishes actually add character to this work by one of the pioneers of the American handcrafted knife. The sheath is also in extremely good condition and the leather hilt strap is secured with snaps on both the front and rear of the sheath, allowing the strap to be fully removed if desired. Overall, this Cooper Stiletto is in impressively good condition and will make an excellent addition to one's collection. Blade Steel: Probably 440C Stainless Steel

About the Maker

Cooper, John Nelson

John N. Cooper (1906-1987). The Cooper Knife is one of the oldest continually manufactured custom knives known. Beginning in 1924 when John Nelson Cooper, as a hobby, began making knives for the local townspeople of Tremont, Pennsylvania. Since that first knife, the Cooper Knife has evolved into a totally new patented process of manufacturing the sporting blade. The first knives were for the working farmer and housewives but as the popularity of a good serviceable knife grew so did his designs. Soon He was making a complete line of knives for hunters, police, military, fisherman, campers and the all around sportsman. Primarily using conventional methods of attaching the handle, it was noted that the acids and dirt would be built up around the tang and hilt area causing the knife to loosen and literally fall apart. Studying the problem, He developed a totally new method of assembling the knife into a solid, bonded unit. This involved welding, brazing and epoxy that left no joint open or that could be opened. The process was so unique that it was granted two United States patents #3,481,038 and #3,595,104.
