This forum is dedicated to the discussion and display of old knives. The rich history of all the many companies that made them through the early years will be found here as well as many fine examples of the cutlers art. Share pictures of your old knives and your knowledge here!
Got this off the bay last week. Really neat old knife EXCEPT that some HAMMERHEAD put it on a belt and raped it.
3 5/8th" long closed. Pretty, old smooth bone handles, steel bolsters and liners. Great snap, no wobbles. Big blade ridin a hair low. Straight match striker pulls on both blades.
Oh well, I got it cheap.

Just speculation on my part but I think it may have been made by one of the cutlery companies in New England.The match striker nail mark is near identical to knives I have by American Knife Co,American Shear&Knife Co.,and H&B;all Connecticut companies.
Further the type face and style of stamp all seem to point to late 1800's production.Again JMHO
