All About Pocket Knives

I'm reasonably sure that most have seen this, but there is a nice looking Hatch on Ebay. The auction ends tomorrow evening.

I had spotted that knife, but to be honest it's a brand I do not know about. Do you have any information on this maker you can share? Also, any idea what that knife might top out at? I won't be bidding but I'm always interested in learning more.

I actually know little about Hatch. I thought it was one of the New England cutleries, and some of you NorthEasterners would be interested.

goins - hatch cutlery co. c1885-1899. bridgeport, connecticut. originally founded as hatch brothers by the firm of sackly & undy. bought by challenge cutlery co. in 1899.

The Hatch jack sold for $225.00 to somebody. Anyone here?

Hello all, got the knife in and here is a pic--nice condition and clean, straight, some original finish is present, great looking stamps, some light rust pitting, probably sharpened a few times but no major blade loss. Hard knife to find in great condition

cool, nice snag mark!

That is SWEET. Mark it looks even better 'in person'. You sure are gathering up some jewels.

Thanks Johnnie and Phil for the kind words
