Could not find a thread dedicated to knives with this stamp.

I have this old warrior and a box they originally came in.

If you got any please show 'em ::tu::

Love that long pull clip - an HOK with a box - does it get any better?

That folder and box are wonderful! To think a vintage knife box has survived that long is incredible ::nod::

Here is a Marshall Wells Coke Bottle Folding Hunter I have. I place the manufactured date pre WWI. So probably 100 years old +
Looks to have been made by NYK Company.

Thought I'd open this thread again for a shot at a few of my favorites. The deer foot unlocks with the ring. The stock paper came from my son who was working in the old Marshall Wells factory in Duluth and the current owner of the building gave him a couple of these. ___Dave

Just look at that clip blade on the Gunstock Jack.

Can it really get any better than that?

yes Roger. It is but it's too faint to get a picture of it with my camera. Hi Charlie, thanks. Gunstocks seem to have evaded me except for a very few. This is one of the last knives I netted from EBay before I got tired of the counterfeits and people trying to scam.____Dave

Not in the best shape, but here’s a Marshall Wells whittler. I’m guessing but probably made for them by New York Knife Co.

Ken, I love an old whittler with a double pull. Lots of life left in that old knife. ____Dave

Thanks Dave. You’re right - lots of life left but it has also served someone well, as evidenced by the loss of blade steel and the pocket worn bone covers. But it still has great snap on the blades, and best of all, hard earned “character”. I’m proud to have it in my whittler pile!

Here is my only Marshall Wells that I posted in Barehead Jacks. I am guessing it is NYK made also. All posted are nice knives.

I've got this old "Toe" made by New York Knife Co.

A well worn cousin of peanuts knife previously posted.

Not much to see on the main tang.
