Well, it's beat up and ugly and has a chip out of the back, but I love it. Snaps like a trap and is put together better than any Schrade.

I wish the long blade was still a spey, I'm pretty sure it once was. And the fish? I thought it was called a "long bomb" shield!

A very nice NYK, Dimitri; understated elegance. All the old NYKs are top-notch, as you well know, and yours is very low mileage to boot! ::tu::

If I were you, I would try to carefully remove the pink paint. Maybe you could try Q-tips with a little paint thinner. That knife would be almost perfect without those little splotches of paint. I don't think the thinner would hurt the blade finish, if you kept it away from the wood handles.

It's a gorgeous jack with nice ebony handles, really good shape.

That color you are seeing in the picture is a reflection from a red LED on my camera, I had to tape it off on the camera to get rid of that reflection in my more recent pictures. That picture was taken a few years ago.

OK - I'm a dummy. I should have realized...

But it didn't look like a flash reflection, and I've had a number of knives that were used by painters. It's terrible when you carefully remove the paint and find a rust spot underneath. Much better to just have a shiny hole in the patina.

I'm not real crazy about wood handles, but that one's something special.

Received this knife as a gift from a family member.
Would like to know more about it. In my research attempt, I only found one other like it.
However, it was in poor condition It had a broken blade and was very scratched.
How much is this knife worth?

This arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I bought. This particular pocket knife was NOT the target of my purchase. It's a HAMMER BRAND, 2 blades, 2 tang stamps, 2 1/2" closed, pocket knife. It has either the 1936-1937 or the 1938-1941 tang stamp. Certainly not the prettiest pocket knife. I did what I could with it, took some pictures, here it is.

It's a HAMMER BRAND, 2 blades, 2 tang stamps, 3 1/8" closed, pocket knife. It has either the 1936-1937 or the 1938-1941 tang stamp. Not in bad shape at all. I cleaned it up a little, took some pictures and here it is.

Recently, this pocket knife arrived in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to also join my general pocket knife collection. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a HAMMER BRAND, three blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/4" closed, two springs, pocket knife. The tang stamp says "HAMMER (over) BRAND (with the flexed arm & hammer) and also a vertical USA on the side. According to the tang stamp chart, it dates to circa 1945-1955. Overall, it is in EXCELLENT condition. All I did was wipe it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
