NYK made quality knives and the examples posted in the thread are very nice. Here is a NYK Hammer Brand jack on in 3 5/8 equal end frame. It has the arm and hammer mark and the distinctive NYK jigged bone.

Nice looking equal end and pictures Ralph

This is one of my favorite threads here. I posted a few a while back but I'm sure they are gone now. I'll see if I can re-post them. Here's one I haven't posted before. It's 4 inches closed. (Seller's pictures.)

That's a great one to keep! What size is it closed?

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I haven't posted here that much, but I do go through a lot of the threads to learn more about the patterns and companies.

Hi Mike, it's 3 7/8" closed. I see the knives you post on BF they are great!! I used to post there from time to time but it's a pain the way you have to post pictures.

Yes, forgot about having to make the file smaller. I usually make a copy of the pic to my desktop and then edit the copy so that my original pic stays the same.

I thought I would wake this thread back up with these three NYKC folders. I think I posted a photo of the blade etched Jack back last year in this thread.

From the top is a Swell Center or Coke Bottle or Stabber Jack with saber ground primary blade with Ebony handles. Next (in the middle) is an early pick bone bare head jack with saber ground primary blade. No Hammer Brand logos on the pick bone folder blade tangs. Last is a regular jack with a pretty full looking Hammer Brand blade etch and Ebony handles.

Wow, all 3 are super nice. The Swell Center with the saber ground spear point blade is a favorite of mine and what a desirable example this NYK is.
