My photos DO NOT do these justice. (I need to redo them in natural lighting...like, outdoors)

It has the Hammer Brand USA tang stamp circa 1945-55. Brown composite handles with the plain oval shield. The handles have shrinky dink syndrome with some shrinkage due to age. The blades are tight, Secondary Clip and Coping blade have great snap, the Main Clip blade has weak snap. The blades have some scratches and some spotting but overall full and great shape. This is my second Hammer Brand swell center whittler and is in considerably better shape than the first one I had. Here are some photos, all I've done is oil the joints.

I liked the blue. The thumb-stud is difficult for me to work but it will just disappear into one of the folders so no biggie.
Sellers picture. Too late in the day to take pictures.

Papa Bones you did good. I especial like the Hammer Brand tang stamp. I know I have at least one but I don't think as clean as yours. Excellent pick up.

Edit: Have some great sunlight coming in the window this morning so I managed to get the pictures taken. No country of origin marked on the knife but I think we all know where it came from.

Jerry, what’s your opinion of this knife? I’ve been curious about Ruike for some time and wondered if they made quality pieces or not?
