I picked this one up on Sunday. Most of the tang stamp is worn on all blades. However, it looks like it has the letters LO? at the end of the name, and then Cutlery Co Walden, NY

Any guesses?

Glenn is it possibly Wardlow? I think there was a connection there with Simmons Hardware, made along with the Keen Kutters at Walden Knife Co..

Nice knife for sure!

I was trying to get up to the show but I was knee deep in knife parts that had to get done so I had to pass. I'll definitely be at Mystic though, not missing that for anything!

It could be...there is a letter after what I think is the LO, that could be a "W"

As to Mystic, definitely won't be able to make it Saturday, my niece is getting married. Sunday is a possibility, but not sure if worth it by Sunday.

Here's a Wardlow /Walden half-moon stamp. Nice pearl knife. ::tu:: Good Luck, J.O'.

Boy, that sure looks like a good match. The tang stamp on my knife is curved also.

Thanks for sharing it!

Here is another example of the Wardlow stamp. Found this one in an antique store a couple of years back. Wish we knew more about this company. Seems to be a well made knife.
