Nice looking knife, Dave.
I thought sure there was a Blish Mize thread on here to help you but I often have trouble finding what I want on here.

Here’s some I found using search, and limiting the search to topic titles only. Simply search for “Blish”.

Beautiful looking knife. I've never heard of Blish-Mize are they worth keeping an eye out for?

Thanks I thought the scalloped bolsters were somewhat unique.

I don't know that they are super collectable but the few I've had have been quality knives.

One if the many hardware companies that operated during the first half of the 20th century, and contracted with cutlery manufacturers to have pocket cutlery made with their hardware company’s name stamped on them. Some of the larger ones, like Shapleigh, Belknap, and Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. (which lives on today as True Value Hardware) had more than one “house brand” name in their product line. Here’s an entire thread about them

Here is a similar knife, at least as far as the scalloped bolsters are concerned. It's a Remington and I think Remington produced quite a few knives with bolsters similar to this. I think that Remington had some sort of relationship with Utica Cutlery and I have seen quite a few Utica knives with fancy scalloped bolsters. I believe that Utica produced knives for quite a few hardware companies and Blish Mize was probably one of them. Here's my Remington:
