Simmons Hardware Co., Germany

In the 1990s, Parker had some knives made, in the Olbertz? factory in Germany, with the same stampings. They usually have HORNET deeply stamped on the main blade and are recognizable as being newer knives.

Like this small stag gunstock, for example. I would never have guessed it was a Parker knife as the quality (and stag covers) are much better than what I usually see on Parkers.

That’s a beautiful looking piece, thanks for showing QTCut5

I love the Parker era Simmons Hardware stamped knives and the deep "Hornet" etch in the blades. I have a whole collection in stag and one in genuine ivory.

Very nice nest of Hornets, Cdavis.
