Toe nail

stockman · Post by **stockman** » Sun May 13, 2007 1:39 pm

I just got a H S & B toe nail. Does anyone know when H S & B made there toe nails? I know they went out in about 1960, but I think toe nails were a earlier knife.

Thanks Stockman

I can't give you a date, but I would love to see a pic of your knife. That would help in dating it.

I have a few H S & B's and really like them. All mine are quality knives.
Here is a pic of a whittler I got from my Dad.

Roger thanks for the tip on Scott he gave me alot of information on my HSB & Co. toe nail. Scott said that HSB was made by NYKC, Ulster, Camillus and Utica. He was unable to tell who made this particular knife, but he gave me another name that may help. If anyone has more info please post.

Thanks for your help
