I'm drooling! Born and raised in Baltimore and a big hawkbill guy. That's one of my "Holy Grail" pieces. . Lucky man.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Thanks John, I have had it for a few years now. One person’s opinion was maybe he was a well to do guy that had it made special with his name on it? The other thought someone had was there was a knife factory like Wostenholms Washington Works but it was called Baltimore Works?? I imagine I will never know the answer. It is one of my favorites though!! Thanks John.

There is a Baltimore in West Cork, Ireland. That sure looks like a British Isles knife, integral bolsters, thick stag, rat-tails, etc. Cool knife, cool mystery.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Wow to both the Wade and the Steer. I've been actively collecting hawkbill and lambsfoot knives for almost 20 years and have never seen either of those. Really sweet knives.___Dave
