napanoch?
Hello everyone again. After help from this group yesterday. im doing further research on my Kelley-how-thomsonco. knife Its a three blade whittler with one blade a leather punch. it has three springs the main blade has a long pull and the secondary blade is a nail pull. really nice green? brown?bone scales and a bomb shield. now my question is the leather punch is a carman? style that i beleive was a napanoch patent or did alot of knife companys use them? thanks for any info. Sorry about no pic but im working on that.

I know a pic would be so much help but im trying, working on that . I guess my main question is the carman style punch were they used by lots of knife companys ? or just napanoch?

the carman punch was patented in 1908. napanoch made contract knives for other companies. i would suspect the punch was used where needed, including your knife if it was a contract built by napanoch.

Re: napanoch?
thanks everyone for the info that patent drawing looks just like the punch on the knife so im gonna say it was made for "kelly- how" by napanoch?
