Not too recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper and it did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a HAMMER BRAND, two blades, two tang stamps, 2 3/4" closed, a long main blade pull, two springs, pocket knife. The shield is missing. The main blade front tang stamp says, "HAMMER (over) BRAND" (with the flexed arm & hammer) and a vertical "USA" on the right side. The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "P 2170537 (over) 2281782" (the patent #'s) The main blade does have a SOFT half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a SOFT half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

I had to use the 'wayback machine' to look for that one. It has ebony handles as Steve pointed out above. I was amazed to realize I've now had that knife for over 15 years.
