Unusual UTICA "Office Knife"
Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 4:52 pm
I just picked this up at the NCCA show in Mystic Connecticut yesterday.
Two unusual things about it...first it is rare to see any office knife pattern with any handle other than ivory celluloid. Second, other than the Utica "showroom collection" knives, it is the first Utica that I have ever seen with the UTICA blade etching. It has the old "arch" Utica tang stamping on both blades. On the back handle is impringted ROBERTS HARDWARE CO.
