Wow. What a wonderful old survivor.
The knife is pretty cool too
Seriously though, that's fun to find such a rare bird, in any condition

I'm with you Tom, Kilgar is our new sleuth! Thanks Kilgar.
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.

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'.
