I don't think I've posted this Napanoch knife kit here, but then again I just spent 20 minutes looking for my truck keys. Has the original paperwork, but the box is a bit damaged. Tools and blade look unused.

Thanks fellers. Here are some slightly better pictures. 3 ¾ closed. Unlike the Ulery and NYK Co. kits I have, this one has a different locking mechanism

You have a sharp eye James! Never noticed that before. It does end in "01" but not sure what it begins with. Thanks

Hi there-

Recently picked this up. Curious if there is a correct name for this type of knife. I am probably used to "nicknames" like Trapper when looking at the basic shape and size of the handles but realize there could be another more correct way to identify this knife? Let me know. Sportsman, Hunter, Trapper or maybe something else. Unfortunately the snap is almost non on the main blade and it's a bit short but I really think it's cool and beautiful. Anyone know anything about it? I know Napanoch ended in about 1919 and Winchester bought them or absorbed them. Thanks

Chris
