Wallkill River Works with Punch

Post by Paul M »

Here is an interesting knife. 3 5/8 " Single Spring with catch bit spacers and half stops. Well worn bone but unfortunately the blades have been cleaned. Is it a Cattle knife?
Wallkill was a NYK brand 1928- 1931 if I recall correctly. It has a NYK style Clip master and the punch is the cheaper non-laminated tang NYK style.
Master and punch stamped Wallkill River Works, Walden, NY.

Those are NICE!! ::tu::
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Thanks Guys- The last 2 knives pictured are not mine. I used the images as reference for the Clip blade and punch style.
I should have made that clear.

Nice knives! ::tu:: ::tu::
And to think, Wallkill River Works was NYK's economy line, IIRC.
Hard to find that quality in the top-of-the-line knives today!
