So do I even though it almost sliced off the tip of my middle finger last night. Thank God for fingernails...

Anywho, trying to determine age. Here are some better pictures of that knife.

I picked this up a couple of days ago at a flea market. It's an old advertising letter opener by Novelty Cutlery. Tang stamp is N.C. CO. over CANTON O. Goins says 1879 - 1948. Price was too good to pass it up. Blade is full and never been sharpened. It was lazy when I got it but after a few drops of Tuf-Glide it now has some closing snap. Celluloid scales are intact but starting to show deterioration so not sure if I'll keep it as is, quarantined from others, or pop off the scales and maybe get some new ones put on it.

BTW, from what I have been able to find so far, the advertiser, Hovden Food Products was a seafood canner located on Cannery Row from 1916 through 1972 when they apparently went out of business.

Mine doesn't say "200" on the tang. It just says "Gerber (over) Portland OR"

I'm assuming you're talking about the Kershaw 3000 DWO I posted.

I think the 3000 was the one, small gray one...?
Here is one of the Gerber 200's that the wife snagged from me, it's just a hair over 2" closed.

Nice finds Joe - the Old Crafty is a neat variation of the Old Timer. OH

Scott -- Is that a bug bite in the blade's edge or an anomaly in the picture. Is the knife still sharp?
