America's "Little Sheffield"
Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Don't know anything much about scout knives... it seems to have some heft to it... & those classic Napanoch bone handles...
Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Mike, that’s the latest looking Napanoch I’ve seen. Beautiful colored handles, which resemble the jigging style on some Challenge knives I’ve seen, albeit larger jigs.
Nice additions to the thread Ken.

I think this Pritzlaff Hardware jack might have been made by NYK Co. I found the same pattern (only larger) in a NYK Co. catalog, and the shield on a different pattern.

Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Wow Mike - a stunner indeed and as I say a “sleeper” with little use ... I guess this is a swell center jack - pretty cool ... What’s the closed length?

Thanks Dan and Lee. I got it from Roger, so of course it's good! It's 3 1/5 closed Lee.

Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Mike... thanks for bumping up the thread with that gorgeous jack... but sorry I can't help with confirming if that was contracted with NYKC... ... but I certainly agree that Rodger is a great source for superb knives!
After a bit of a dry spell... this week I received a bunch of "first" additions to my collection...
starting with my first quill knife... a 3" NYKC with what I think are very old picked bone handles... the likes I have not seen on other NYKC knives... with also crimped bolster and a rather unique (it seems) sheepfoot shaped blade. I hoping someone here can verify if this is an early NYKC or not?... and if the blade is original, swapped or possibly reshaped?
plus an Ulster Knife Co. cattle knife with my first classic example of peachseed bone handles...
...and at first I had none... and now I have two Wharncliffes... both of the shadow pattern variety with MoP handles
the Ulster Knife Co. at 2⅞” has definitely seen some use but I picked it up pretty cheap...
...but the little 2½” Walden Knife Co. whittler looks brand new with what I believe are still the original factory edges...

Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Terrific knife per your usual Mike.
Ken the jigging is indicative of early NYK. I have a farmers jack with very similar handles. My favorite jigging.

Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Nice scores Ken ... I would definitely call it a quill knife - that bone is awesome and about as nice as the American made quills imo.. Peachseed jigging is so attractive and for me the easiest to recognize.. and those wharncliffes are sweet!!

Re: America's "Little Sheffield"
Roger Cunningham already posted this knife in the scout thread before I bought it from him, but I'll add it here as well.
It's 3 5/8 closed New York Knife Co. "official" BSR 1 scout knife. Levine's guide says that NYK Co. was the official scout knife maker until 1922, which included having "be prepared" on the shield. There are faint salesman sample numbers on the back of the main blade. Here's a link on scout knives, http://scoutknives.net/index.php/boy-sc ... york-knife which includes a section on NYK Co.
