Wow. What a wonderful old survivor.

The knife is pretty cool too ::sotb::

Seriously though, that's fun to find such a rare bird, in any condition ::tu::

That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend. ::tu::

I'm with you Tom, Kilgar is our new sleuth! Thanks Kilgar. ::handshake:: Now, wonder who made it? Maybe Utica. Iron liners, bone scales left somewhat "proud", not a great fit and finish, maybe an import. There may be a third line to the stamp? Thanks again. J.O'.

Cool old knife, and it prompted me to get a little history on EKTCo too, one of the oldest sporting retailers I never heard of. ::tu::

I've had quite a few. They're usually nice. Here's a big English Jack from Tryon that I believe to be a Utica. J.O'.
