All About Pocket Knives

Recently picked up this 5-3/8" "banana" lockback folding hunter. The tang stamp is TTC in a diamond. I have some recollection that this may have been a brand sold by Sears Roebuck, prior to the Wilbert brand. I mat have seen it in an old Sears catalog.

The blade is etched HUDSON'S BAY HUNTER.

TTC...maybe "True Temper Cutlery"?

Goins only says c. 1908.

BLADES GUIDE TO KNIVES AND THEIR VALUE says:

T.T.C. Diamond Brand, N.Y., sold by Sears Roebuck, Chicago, U.S.A., retail, c. 1909.

Thanks!!

That's a really Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8 looking knife, Steve

I can add nothing.Fine knife,love the etch.I came in 2nd place.

Beautiful example of a beautiful pattern. This is the first TTC marked knife I've seen, but to lend some credence to the Wilbert /Sears connection I have seen a couple of Napanoch knives that look almost exactly like your TTC.

I have a twin to it in a Wilbert. But it ain't etched.

A wonderful looking knife.

Love this cartoon.

Woof!! Wanna Trade??

The TTC brand were listed in the 1905 to 1910 Sears reprinted catalog but your knife in this catalog was a Wilbert catalog number 6T16976 with the Hudson Bay etch, length 5 1/4 inches closed, 9 3/4 inches open. Price was $1.12. If mail shipment, postage extra 7 cents. It was one of the most expensive ones listed, only 14 cents less than the big 6 blade congress.____Dave

Great looking knife Steve, I like the pic of the dog holding the knife too.

Yeah, that picture is cool.
