Hey all,

Mighty fine Knives you have there in NYKC, Sunfish is without a doubt my favorite pattern, but NYKC is my favorite vintage knife. In Fact perhaps 25% of my vintage collection is NYKC ::tu:: Here is my favorite pattern along with my favorite company. This knife was hand/manually jigged.

Glad to see that I'm not alone.... Very nice examples here lately ::tu::

Bill, those are 2 fine knives you have there.l've only seen couple of the sowbellies before.Several years ago 1 was on eBay that was etched, I can't remember exactly what it brought, but it was well north of 2 grand.Also saw an HSB 5 blade NY made with a OVB etch before too.If you come to Parkers bring those bad boys with you.I would love to see them. ::nod::

Just picked up these 2 NY Knife Co knives. I love the little 2 blade knife. Mark Zalesky of KW wrote an article in the August 2013 edition of a pearl handled small lobster type knife that he called a scimitar. Mine has bone handles as you can see. It is 3 1/4" closed. The congress is 3 7/8" closed.
