This Valley Forge Cutlery Co; N.J. has seen better days. I deleted the broken secondary blade. The bone was nice...except for the missing part on the front side...so I did an Acraglas repair. Unfortunately it was owned by a belt sanding fanatic...in it's past. It took a nice edge and now I can move it in to the HOK / EDC rotation.
Edit: The more I look at this...I'm thinking the remaining primary blade may have been fabricated, by someone previously. The pin on the blades was darker. The nail nick seems small and unrefined. There is no obvious tang stamp...with all of the belt sanding. The Valley Forge Tang Stamp was on the secondary blade tang.
Never-the-less..it cuts pretty well.

It looks good, Doc. I have a few knives with unmarked blades - some are likely homemade.
They are generally good knives, though. I enjoy carrying them, I just wish that they could tell their life story!
