I know, I know... They're ONLY hawkbills, but I still like them...
# 7,8 & 9 -- Case Brothers, Little Valley, N.Y. 1900- 1912
# 10 -- Case Brothers, Springville, N.Y. 1912- 1915
# 11 -- W. R. Case & Son (singular) Bradford, PA. 1903- 1905
# 12,13& 14 -- W.R. Case & Sons, Bradford, PA 1905- 1920
# 15 -- Case Tested XX -- Bradford, PA 1920- 1945
# 16 -- Case XX, Bradford, PA 1945- 1964
# 17 -- Case XX U.S.A -- 1974
NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN BUFFED!!!
# 12, # 15, and # 16 are un-sharpened.
Some of my dates may not be right. Let me know and I will correct them...
Sorry about the lousy picture. Hopefully you can see them OK.

I actually like Hawkbills, there is something about them that makes them look a little more dangerous than other knives...

Which in turn make me appreciate them...I know that's kinda weird but oh well...

Hello CCBill & Others today

,

I like HawkBill's also. Here is a couple of oldn's I have.
I do not know if you can see wood grain on the M&G, it is almost like burl. You can still see original etch if held just right.

I think it is a Joy to find old tool knives that have not been abused
