Re: new york knife co
PACKLEADER. If it is a New York Knife CO. knife it will be stamped on the pile side tang. This is off the top of my head, so results may vary.

Re: new york knife co
Has edgy46 said,if it has New York Knife on the back of the tang, then NYKC.If not it is an Imperial.
At the least it had been rehandled with abalone.

Re: new york knife co
Here's a stag knife from Charles "Chuko" Lamb's collection that I was able to buy from his son. I suspect other members here were able to buy NYK knives from him as well, so maybe those will start showing up here. (Not my photo, because it's in focus and actually shows what the knife looks like.)

Re: new york knife co
Thanks for the nice comments. I knew Charles had some great knives but I had no idea he had so many.

Re: new york knife co
Beautiful knife Mike
I knew Charles for years and he was a great guy so when he passed a few years ago all that knew him where and still are sad he's gone. He had a love of pearl knives, Orange Blossoms and lobsters mostly. He also collected NYK Co knives plus some Custom folders among others. He came to AZ in 2016, I think that was the year, and we met and chatted about knives for a couple of hours. We had a nice time with show and tell!! Through the years I sold him a few knives mostly NYK's. When he passed I was able to buy a few back from his son.
In the pictures the Scimitar knife was one as was the etched pearl whittler. The 5 blade I did not sell to Charles but was very lucky to have gotten it.
The picture with the 2 Navy knives. The one that is marked NYK I sold to Charles and was also able to get back. It's twin is marked OVB and is also a NYK Co made knife. Thanks to Llyod for helping me get the twin!!

Thanks for posting those Mike. Each one is a treasure in its own right, but I also really like the scimitar knife.

Tanks guys, yes that Scimitar is a special knife. Still can’t believe I let that go before!

Yes he does, it was offered to me when I showed this one to Mark but we couldn’t find common ground on a price. It’s a beauty for sure!

Re: new york knife co
I recall seeing that Masonic knife in one of Voyles' auctions a while back. I think it was in with a bunch of Sheffield knives.
Well Mike, you and Charles have both been able to enjoy that knife.

Re: new york knife co
Mike those are all crazy nice. The pearl whittler with the double pulls keeps calling me back to it. The five blade speaks back to the origins of NYK co. All special knives for a lot of reasons. Thanks for showing them off and the back story story as well
