Thank you all, appreciate it. I feel pretty lucky to find this one, most I find this old are pretty worn. Couple more pics in the sun showing the wood.

Picked up this toenail/sunfish at the Parker Show.

Here is one of my favorite Folding Hunters. A NYK 186 pattern. The etch is still lightly visible on the blade. I've only seen 1 or 2 others of this pattern in my years collecting.

Beautiful old Sun fish and hunter, guys.
NYK has got to be right up there as best design and construction of early knives.

Great knife Wayne.A rare one indeed.

That Teardrop and it actually is a true Teardrop with the indents on the sides, not straight-sided, just like a drop of liquid would stretch out just before falling from whatever it was attached to, (get the picture?), is a fantastic knife.

I love that little bird's head effect on the bottom bolster of the folding hunter.

And, that's another great toenail, Peanut.

Check, check and check.

That folding hunter sure has a nice shield.

Good observation, Charlie. I have never looked at a teardrop pattern like that before, even though it is one of my favorites.

Great old knives on the previous page.

This stuff is what makes this site tops. Beautiful examples Roger and Wayne.

peanut740 · Post by **peanut740** » Mon Mar 07, 2016 2:27 pm

Wayne I found a brother to your 186 folding hunter.It also has some etch remaining.

btrwtr · Post by **btrwtr** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 9:22 pm

Roger they look like twins. Great snag!

You can find a NYK 185 pattern floating in the bay most any time. They are a handsome knife but that 186 pattern is far more elusive.

peanut740 · Post by **peanut740** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 10:29 pm

Wayne does yours have a tang stamp?This one has no sign of being stamped on the front but has a deep 186 on the back.

btrwtr · Post by **btrwtr** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 11:59 pm

No tang stamp. Has a NYK with hammer blade etch and 186 on the pile tang. I've always figured this correct for the knife but good to have another example to confirrm.

Wayne and Roger - those "twin" hunters are awesome
