Legit NYKC Saddlehorn?

Post by pointythings »

I'll admit that I can't pinpoint exactly what bothers me about this knife. It's a less common NYKC tang stamp and I don't recognize the jigging pattern.

Also, although the blades were cleaned, the grinds just don't look right to me. Too modern.

Anyone have more info they can share as to the knife's legitimacy?

EDIT: And I know this isn't a saddlehorn.

Amazing bone handles - frame and handles appear to be old.

The blades, unfortunately are modern fakes - tang stamp letters are too rounded, blades exhibit a modern look with modern grind/polish and no swedges.

Handles are amazing, but their beauty has been tainted by buffing.

I don't think that old pick bone was buffed off at the bolsters and springs. Mine isn't on my NYK.
