Here is one that I have posted before but I just got the NY Knife Co letterhead and thought it would be good to post it with this pearl whittler.

BTW I voted for NY Knife over Case!!! Which to those that know me is no surprise.

Thanks M.B. My first NYK and the largest.


Alan Todays knife is an edc. Fits my right front pocket just right. That is the last one with NYK markings, I do have three that I am sure NYK made.
