Great lookin' display Singin', very cool!
rigwelder: love those oldies, those are some classics for sure. Those two must have been made by New York Knife Co and not Imperial I'm assuming...?

I got my 1st 'Hammer Brand' knives today, from a local antique store.

The Kamp King and the one just below it are marked 'Hammer Brand, USA'. The smallest knife on the very bottom has the 1936-1937 style marking :mrgreen:

Currently I'm down to one Hammer brand shell-knife, this toothpick pattern - it has great snap and a terrific edge. OH

Well, it's beat up and ugly and has a chip out of the back, but I love it. Snaps like a trap and is put together better than any Schrade.

I wish the long blade was still a spey, I'm pretty sure it once was. And the fish? I thought it was called a "long bomb" shield!

A very nice NYK, Dimitri; understated elegance. All the old NYKs are top-notch, as you well know, and yours is very low mileage to boot! ::tu::
