That is a great knife Joe! I think it is a Union Naugatuck though, which is even better!

Actually, after a courious thought about the stamp on this knife, I think I'm in the wrong pew. This aint no early Kabar.
I think it's Union Knife co., of Naugatuck. I'm hoping that's Naugatuck, Connecticut.
Union knife co., just sounded odd so I looked in Goins and sure enough there is a real difference in company names.
I like this and I like what it says about Union knife co.
Incidently, Naugatuck, Ct. is where "Naugahyde"(sp) was invented and delivered to the world as automobile seat covering.
edit: Kathy, you pegged it as I was trying to get it pegged. Good job. And thanks.

Joe,
Bret & I have a knife that is very similar to yours. I had asked about the different Union's in another forum. Here are the links to two threads:

Bret said that we should trade. Since there are two knife collectors here, we should have the knife with two blades!
