I picked up this NYKC utility knife recently and have some questions my research hasn’t answered yet. I know NYKC made a BS1, BS, BS3 and BS4 Scout knives but this one is none of those. This one is a Model No. BB1 and I can’t find squat on this version. It has the exact same blade combination as their pre-1923 Scout Knife including the screwdriver and wire scraper on both sides not found on the post 1923 knives. And after conducting countless image searches I’ve turned up nothing on the guy on the shield. Doesn’t resemble known portraits of Columbus or Vespucci so they’re out. Certainly no American president. I reached out to the Twitter world but if it isn’t political or Hollywood no one there has any clues at all. Anyone here have any info on the BB1 or the guy on the shield I’d like to hear from you. It has a Harrison punch so it has to be made between 1902-1923.
