That's a looker, great shape and beautiful. Never heard of Clarks Brothers. But it's a great piece.

It says "Hand Hammered" with a logo in between the 2 words, not unlike the Hammer Brand logo. Dufficult to see, but if you enlarge this picture you may be able to make it out.

Clark Bros weren't around long. They operated in KC for a few years and then bought out Northfield, going bankrupt a few years after that.

What a nice knife!
At four inches with that large, round, barehead end it must be a great handle.
Good for you, Ike.

Scored 4 rare knives last night, this Nagle ReBlade is probably the rarest of them, only made 1914 to 1916, they are high quality knives with the ability to change blades. Will take pictures when it arrives.

Very nice Catt. Jacknifeben!
