These look great! Nice condition too3 Small whittlers from my last mail call, I posted them in the whittler thread and thought they belong here as well. Not sure who made the Schmid but it's a very high quality knife with the prettiest pearl of my dozen or so pearl knives.
Interesting combination of stamps on the pearl NYK, the hammer brand stamp and the earlier arched NYK stamp together is a combo I've not seen before. It must have been assembled as they were transitioning to the hammer brand logo.

Beautiful diminutive whittlers Rob. I especially like the last one with the creamy scales.
The tiny 2 5/8 NYK multi blades display excellent craftsmanship seems those were made by their best cutlers. Real nice Rob, love the NYK.
they sure turned out some fine knives, right in there with the best of the day barehead sleeveboard whittlers seem to be an unusual pattern it has nice sunk joints too. that's a beautiful Miller bros I had my eye on one with peach seed bone and let it slip away I'm with you on Mike's Millers
I have been waiting for this one to arrive, I was very pleased to come across this one, I was so kindly gifted a well loved version of this knife that was worn away to almost nothing- and yet still an incredible piece.
I understand that a lot of my Knife friends may think this isn't too much to be excited over, but.... for me this Knife hasn't been an easy one to come across, and is the very best yet I myself have managed to obtain, and is an important part of my sears range of Knives.
The Sears range of Knives was immense as we know, but for me to find an example like this has been hard, it has the earlier Sears Brand name Stamping of: STA- SHARP ( over ) S.R & Co.
The Stag is perfectly Hafted, so very thin to the Liners- and wonderful examples of Stag at that, the Knife has been used, but still in nice condition.
The Doglegs Frame is very nicely finished with coined Liners and the Center Liner has extra treatment.
The Main Blade is Sabre Ground on the Mark side, and Flat Ground Pile side, the Pen Blade is a Wharncliffe Shape with a nice Curve. Definitely a very nice example of early Camillus's work specifically made for Sears Roebuck.
Here is my other example - as worn as this Knife is- I think this Knife still commands respect! you can see why once I had this that if I were lucky enough to come across a decent example I would have to pounce....
