Re: new york knife co
You won the New York Knife Co. lottery. Absolutely amazing. At least history fell into the lap of someone who will appreciate and preserve it.
Re: new york knife co
John that is exceptional!
Re: new york knife co
"Pretty nice".
I don't know, John. Some of those matchstrike hoozies aren't quite even.
Actually, I'd go with downright beautiful.

Eleven months between posts to this thread and you revived it in a big way.

Thank you all for the comments. Charlie, I was surprised to see how long it had been since someone posted a new to them NYK knife.
Joe, thanks for pointing out those uneven matchstrike hoozies, I'll have to get rid of the knife now

Re: new york knife co
Just curious and totally serious, is "hoozies" a traditional name for the indentations in a match-strike pull?

John:
What is the closed length of that Easy-Opener?
The size and elaborateness of the shield seem to announce that it is a really big deal -- my guess is at least 3 3/4 inch.
Very nice "benchmark" piece.

Probably should be spelled "whozees". It's like "whatzees" only different.

Re: new york knife co
I thought that was the case, but I asked because the vernacular of the old time cutlers could be quite different and colorful.

Re: new york knife co
You are close, it is 3 5/8", nice size for a jack. I did leave out that there is a pattern number, 2563, stamped on back of main tang.stumpstalker wrote:John:

Thank you all for the comments, for me the best part of this knife is the sharp etch, so hard to find on knives this old.
Re: new york knife co
John, you did the right thing hitting the BIN button. I sent the seller an offer on that knife and the KA-BAR and in the twenty minutes it took the seller to answer me you had already purchased the NYK which was the best in the lot. Very nice knife and a great price!!
Re: new york knife co
Thanks, I got the Schrade easy open with a best offer but when this one popped up the following morning I decided to just do the BIN although I was tempted to do an offer, looks like I made the right decision for a change.Gunsil wrote:John, you did the right thing hitting the BIN button.

Did you get thr KaBar? That looked to be a very nice knife also.
Re: new york knife co
Good thing you didn't hesitate like I did!! Yes, I got the KA-BAR, but when it arrived it had been pretty heavily cleaned, the photos weren't that good. But it is a harness jack and I had never seen one by KA-BAR before so I did keep it. He is slowly dropping the prices on the others he has.
Re: new york knife co
I just discovered this thread and I'm glad I did...some very cool knives being shown here.
I've admired New York knives from afar for a long time. These two are the only ones I've managed to acquire (so far).
