I've posted some pics of a stag trapper made by Hard Hat U.S.A. back in 1994. Look at the pics and tell me all you can about the company and or if it is a contract job. Double click on pics to enlarge.
Thanks,

Col Coon made some under contract for them...
They are primarily a distributor, so I'd suggest
al their knives are contract jobs... Nice un there..
Ive NO idea whoom made it, but doubtful it was HH co

I think I may have seen some Bucks with the Hard Hat stamping at auction but I might be mistaken.

Hard hat was a knife club native to the Owensboro Ky / Evansville Indiana area. Case, Bear, Coon, Schrade and others made the club knives. Here is a pic of a coon Hard hat.

As a promotional products distributor (selling logoed items) I have access to their line of knives that can be imprinted. I've never sold from their catalog but have drooled over it while flipping through the pages....

Here is a Carpenters union knife by Hard Hat I dug out and I think it was also made by Bear & Son. It has the look.
