...when you find out what brand this knife is.

Before I reveal it, anyone care to guess?

If anyone guesses correctly, they will win...well, nothing. But you will have the satisfaction of winning.

Boker

Joe; by any chance do you mean SABRE, the low-end Cole National brand? Just checking. I want this contest to be fair, due to the high-value prize involved.

Remington or Boker.

Remington and Boker are very good, well-educated guesses. But...no.

I will say that it is a USA knife company.

Southington Knife Company?

.......Camillus???...........

Browning

E. C. Simmons or Empire

Forged USA by Ulster

Miller Brothers

Great responses...but no prize yet.

The reason that I thought this was interesting is that most collectors of old knives would associated that pattern with Remington - it is referred to as the "blood groove whittler" due to the groove along the main clip blade. We also associate the "acorn" shield with Remington, but only for knives with a punch blade.

Due to the commonality of employees and therefore designs between Remington, Utica, and Boker USA, any of those three would be good guesses - but all incorrect.

I will say that (again) it is a USA brand, and (another clue) it is a manufacturer's brand, not a contract brand.

Napanoch or Waterberry

Schrade ?

Never seen the grooved master blade before. The swedge looks like an early Imperial.

How about H&B. I have only seen a very few H&B's, own two nothing like this knife. a pure guess.

The jigging looks a little like Winchester or Napanoch but I'm guessing it would have to be older than Remington to use the acorn. Maybe I'm way off.

Valley Forge.

Steve, I was going for that Japanese brand. The fuller threw me. I thought it was the usual flip up of Japanese efforts of the day.
I usually get my Es and Rs mixed up. Octobre, Novembre, and Decembre always have me in a flux!

Ok...well, given that people are just throwing knife brands out willy nilly (though Valley Forge was a good guess, due to the Boker connection)...I'll give one more teensy clue...the name rhymes with Splatt & Sorghum.

Snap and More GUM?

Wayne

ok, biskit n gravie

Well since I am only guessing.... um' Challenge Cutlery Bridgeport?

Never would have guessed that one Steve. You always come up with tough brain teasers. I'm still waiting for an easy one. Schatt & Morgan.........tough.
