All About Pocket Knives

Has anyone noticed that the newer style etches say "Hammered Forged"
instead of "Hammer Forged", like the old etches?

I guess some things get lost in translation (see below)

Gotta get me one of them ...

Keith,
Several of the old etches read 'Hammered Forged". I believe that the newer ones just tried to duplicate the old error, if we can call it that.
I'll try to post a photo of one of the old ones.

Thanks Ray,

I hadn't noticed that before.

Hmmm,
Maybe you should send me those two beauties
for a closer examination

This is an older thread I just found. It´s just coincidence but a few days ago I bought a Schlieper Muskrat knife and saw the etching on the blade. Ok, I am used to the "funny English" of my fellow countrymen and after all the japanese are much better at embarassing "English". Allthough, "...perfect hand job, then as now...." is very close!

You'll put your eye out and go blind.

Don't know that there is a "perfect hand job" Guess it has a lot to do with the finish
