Check out the punch blade

Post by Jacknifeben »

Anyone have a catalog on Napanoch knives. Think this one was made by them.

What's on the main blade tang stamp? Definitely a Napanoch punch although Winchester continued with them for a short while as well.

Main blade is JACK KNIFE BEN CHICAGO, SECOND BLADE is stamped on both sides UNION STOCK YARDS. The punch blade has PAT’D 4/7/08. This was kind of a set up because I have quite a few with this stamp but not this pattern. Old Ben knew how to contract good knives way back in the 1900,s.

Thanks for posting, JKB! That's a sweet knife for sure and you're right about the quality of knives Jack Knife Ben used. ::tu:: ::tu::

I have a Cattleman's knife I'm pretty sure was a Robeson.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

One of mine has a different punch blade, is this the same as yours? Mine still has part of a BEN and HANDY DANDY etch.
