And the "Army Knife" that someone decided to grind away "New York Knife Co" and the "Hammer Brand" lettering...
LoL, my knife is stamped Walden, NY That's really interesting, if NYK closed in 1931, Cruetzberg may have just got ahold of their remaining supply of scout knives since everything about this knife is NYK; fit/feel and even the patent number on the punch. Maybe they added the "Army Knife" shield to make it their own LoL. Good catch on that in Goins! I never would've spotted that blurb I think they just grinded off the NYKC on the cap lifter and left the Walden, NY. Thanks for the info Stuart, very coolKevin, that someone was the G. F. Creutzberg Company (Philadelphia, PA 1875-1943). Their EAGLE PHILA trademark is stamped over the crudely erased Hammer brand on your knfe. According to Goins, they made their knives "by using parts left over from other contract knives." Their trademark "has been stamped over John Primble India Steel Works, OVB Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co, Marshall Wells Hdw., and one knife has been seen with the small blades marked 'Walden, N.Y.'". Check the tang of your cap lifter/flathead drives blade. after 1943, they dealt in farm supplies.

Thought I'd resurrect this fine old thread with a couple of stag examples:
First up is a horseman. I usually shy away from knives with so much blade loss but this one is a rare treasure that I didn't think twice about:

Next up is a stag jack. You rarely see stag handled knives from NYK:
