Rare stamp on this one , 1920-30s , Henkle & Joyce HDWE Co .
Awesome Woodman Accident etch . Around 3 3/8" closed .

I really like these older knives Keep em' coming! Here is my contribution. A two blade jack with some sort of jigged black plastic. Marked Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co. I really like the "Mechanic's Special" shield!

I love the blade etch. It's kind of odd but very cool. Awesome knife.

Woodman of The World was a kind of self funding insurance club or collective. My Dad was a member at one time. I think their logo was a stump with an embedded ax.

"Woodman Accident" refers to accident insurance.

I have had a Woodman Accident knife made by Robeson before but most were stamped Henkle & Joyce.

Hey GUYS, Has anyone ever seen a "New England Cutlery" knife before?? I havent seen until I got this one and of course there is one shown in Goins Book. I feel its a Pretty Rare tang stamp. Only made from 1852-1860,, Pre Civil War piece. Pretty cool to me

That's just fantastic!

Here are a couple of tang stamps that I think are pretty rare.
This first one is uncommon IROQUOIS/MADE IN U.S.A. Bernard Levine (LG4) dates Iroquois circa 1930s – 1940s; probably made by Utica Cutlery; and it may have been a manufacturers brand.


Bernard Levine (LG4) Utica Knife & Razor Co.; circa 1924 – 1925; wholesaler and importer;
Goins dates it circa 1924 – 1935; By 1935 the manufacturing plant had been moved to Plattsburgh New York and the new name was Pal Cutlery Co.
I don't know how common this tang stamp is and I wish it was on a whole knife instead of a parts knife, but the tang stamp is interesting.
Not much left of this knife handles are gone and the blades are in really bad shape but the tang stamps are still nice and legible.

It's always nice to see those rare tang stamps, Dale. Knife or no knife.

Mark, beautiful old knife!. Looks like stag - is that right? Also what is closed length - is it 4 1/4"?

Hey Jerry, Thanks buddy for the compliments. The 1st picture has a ruler under the knife but I think it was closer to 4" closed. Absolutely the handles were Genuine Stag. It was a very special knife that I found just as you see it. I didnt have it very long as it went to a collector friend of mine
