The "HATCH" cutlery company

[JohnR]

Joe, that's a very nice knife, I'm not so sure the pen has worn that way or the previous owner decided they would rather have a punch, I have a Lawton in my collection where the pen looks just like the one on your knife.

[FRJ]

Thank you, John.
I have a few others in this same shape too. I think this one was sharpened this way.

Nice score Joe ... The horn is cool - different looking in the color and almost spotted shading ...

BTW - I'm liking the new avatar "JOE" - its like your name using Broadway lights buddy - cool ...

Very nice old Hatch Joe I don't have any and have only seen one and I can't talk the owner into parting with it. Nice avatar, Jerry does good work!!

Nice one Joe and kudos to Jerry.

I just noticed that uniquely jigged English jack of John's, excellent, I would have bought it for the bone .

He's the Handy Man!

I like mine for this Christmas time of year.

This is the only Hatch I've been able to find. Never was able to purchase it, but was given to me for Christmas by my friend that wouldn't sell it to me. What can you say but thank you,I was speechless!!!
It is 3" in length.

Stunning Hatch Bill .... a dogleg with beautiful bone - awesome!!! That’s a good friend Bill ... BTW - Hatch knives are not easy finds at all and finding them in good condition like yours is no easy feat ... That’s a treasure in my book!!

There is a high dollar Hatch up for internet auction right now.

Bill, that is a gorgeous knife, what a great gift from your friend.

[FRJ]

Bill, your friend values your friendship very much.
What a treasure that knife is.
Although I haven't seen very many Hatches, that is the cleanest one I have seen.

[BWT]

Thanks everyone, it is in really good condition for it's age. I appreciate your input.

Nice pattern, pretty bone, rare mark. Bill

[BWT]

Thanks Lyle

[Miller Bro's]

Good looking knife Bill, a hard brand to find

[BWT]

Thanks Dimitri it's the only one I have seen!!

Heres a Hatch that I just came across. Looks just like the pattern earlier in this thread. If you click the photos they orient correctly.

[Kai76]

What a beauty!! Long pulls on both blades, the swages, that shield and the bone!

[LongBlade]

Nice Hatch ... certainly looks like the same exact knife on eBay right now as of this morning for $1000? ... definitely not a $1000 knife imo...

[galvanic1882]

It is the same knife I asked the seller, I agree not a 1,000 knife imo for what it’s worth.

[Kai76]

No wonder it looked familiar. The green background, a storm of a price...

I am very happy with this recent purchase of cutlery history. While it may not win any beauty contests, it is very solid with great snap and half stops. It shows some wear, but it was used and respected by someone, not used and abused.

I love old knives like this, and am quite happy to add it to my "wood pile".

Another fine one, Ike!
