    Question KNOX-EM-ALL Mean anything to anyone?

    Hey guys,

    Picked up a blade from whippeddog.com and there was nothin at all on it but KNOX-EM-ALL stamped on it. Is that the company? Certainly can't complain about the shave it gave!

    Danke!

    It could be the company, but is more likely to be a trademark. "Knox-em-all" was used by a lot of companies for things like suits, hats (1900), shoes (1899), flour, roofing paper, etc, etc. Probably retailed by a hardware store. It's probably derived from slang, such as 'knocks them all out" "knocks then all into a cocked hat" meaning that it is the best.
