Thank you, Roger!
I personally regard the New York Knife Co. as the greatest knife manufacturer in the United States.

These two swell center jack knives help form that opinion.

Thanks, Joe, Roger, and John.

The bone handled knives , (maybe all? )were made around 1915 or earlier because of the pick BONE.

Here is another swell center jack, slightly smaller than the 2 that I previously posted.
Can anyone give me an approximate date range of when this particular stamp was used?

I think the Hammer Brand knives were the last NYK made knives, that ended in 1931, I believe the stamp you have is pre WWI.

Thank you RR, you saved me a bit of time looking.
We are having another round of Thunderstorms tonight and our Female dog Piper is not digging on it. She rang the bell to go outside accept she wants to go sit in Miss Lori’s van in the garage.

We could really use some rain. I thought I had a New York Knife Co book around here some place that I got off of Barry at the SVKCC show last year . . .
