Re: shell handled knives
I was thinkin' the same thing! That Alaska tuxedo is pretty cool. I'm reading a book about dogsledding in Alaska right now, so that one jumped out at me as well.
Who is the maker on that one...?

Tuxedo is cool but I think the Congress one is the most rare of the bunch.

Re: shell handled knives
The shell handled Hammer Brand knives were made by Imperial also.
Imperial acquired the Hammer Brand name after New York knife closed down about 1932.

Re: shell handled knives
Thanks Scott
With the shells nearing one hundred I am trying to quit, but this one at three dollars followed me home anyway.
