Charles that's fantastic, even has some etch left on it!! Isn't that ring construction interesting? Simple but solid!

We had a couple of these unique ones over in the "Old Knives" thread and I was asked to post mine here too... I've got several NYKC's to add here so keep an eye open :D I refer to this one as a "Knob & Tube" electricians knife with the not so popular bolster latching mechanism LoL.

Beautiful and interesting NYKC Knives you all have posted photos of lately:thumbsup: I enjoy seeing these so Thank You!!!

I thought I had posted these in this thread already but couldn’t find them. I may have posted them in the Old Knives Thread awhile back but can’t find them. Anyway they belong here!

From the top is a swell center or Coke bottle or Stabber jack with saber ground primary blade with Ebony handles. Next (in the middle) is an early pick bone bare head jack with saber ground primary blade. No Hammer Brand logos on the pick bone folder blade tangs. Last is a regular jack with a pretty full looking Hammer Brand blade etch and Ebony handles.D4F9DD73-B03A-4A2C-A9DB-75B68A3A46FA.jpeg 7B4DDDD7-8E81-4852-B89E-6EBE00FBEF9B.jpeg

Cool knives, v_p!!
 
Thanks Paul, Lambertiana, Jeff, Dan, Gev and Charlie for the nice comments on the three above folders I posted photos of—much appreciated!!

Very nice NYKC folders Dan and -V_P:thumbsup::thumbsup: They exude quality!

Here are three more NYKC folders from my collection. The top one is marked HSB & Co. OVB large lock back folding hunter. It is 5 & 3/8 inches closed. Clearly a NYKC produced knife. The next or middle one is a lock back sleeve board bare end English Jack. It is 4 & 5/8 inches closed. The bottom one is a 3 inch split back Whittler style NYKC folder.

Thanks Gev! I'm curious what others think about the NYKC Bottle Opener jack I posted above... I've examined this knife many times and after looking at it again tonight, call me crazy but I'm convinced it's jigged wood. I'm searching for some NYKC catalog pages that might have this beer jack in it, the length is almost 5" when closed and over 8" fully opened... it's a HUGE knife. I would love to figure out an approximate year... it's early 1930's or before, but I'd like to know how much before LoL. If anybody has any ideas or info on this knife, I'd love to hear it :)
