I like the hammer brand knives that were made by imperial because they can be picked up cheaply and have good thinly ground blades, really a good value, back then and now. Though decent knives they are a far cry from the real hammer brand which was a premium line of new york knife co. I haven't acquired a true nyk co hammer brand knife.

Jack, you will see some very nice NYK knives posted in this thread.

Most of these are in the collectible category rather than the carriable category.

At those prices in good condition it's impossible to resist.

Olde Cutler I have a couple of those to, today I carried a stockman, all of mine are in good to great shape for their age and not a lot of money.

You can't beat these knives for EDC. Love the looks of these knives too! I have a Barlow that I carry from time to time. But I got lucky several years ago and found a point of sale display. I mounted the display in a glass front case and display it the wall in my living room! Somewhere I have NYK Hammer Brand knives somewhere. I have a switch blade too, just need to find it!

I have always like the Hammer Brand hammer forged look that Imperial offered - never seen the entire display before - that is very cool. I just saw one of those hammer forged Barlows for sale in the AAPK store. They also offered that forged style blade in a 4" Bicentennial Stockman and a series of the US Armed Forces branches in the mid 1970's - I've got two of them. OH
