"Old Knives"

It is not presently known by me whether this knife was made pre-1941 by Ulster Knife Company (under Divine ownership), or later, by Ulster Knife U.S.A. (under Baer ownership). I am inclined toward the former, based on fit and finish, superior handle material and the fancy shield.

Whoever ground that blade did a good job.
 
Thanks Dave, Charlie, Dan, John, Paul, & Duncan for your very nice comments on the arched Schrades!! My big disappointment this year was not getting to meet you in person Duncan. I had really looked forward to it since the last show when word circulated that you would probably make the 2025 OKCA show. Unfortunately, I became seriously ill in late 2024 and couldn’t seem to get any better before the show☹️ It was a bitter pill to swallow but I am pleased you made it and had a wonderful time and picked up some what I am sure are some outstanding collectible knives for your collection!! Thanks for your well wishes!!!

Lloyd my friend, please reach out to me or as I have a sneaky suspicion to most other people here if you need a hand with anything at all, I absolutely hate hearing people struggle with health, but all my hopes are going your way for betterment in your health, happiness and enjoyment in life.
New Zealand is a long way from anyone else here, but our little country is known for rolling up their sleeves in the time of need my friend.
I have my sights on Eugene in a couple of years, mark that spot and lets meet each other there Lloyd, until then keep posting those gorgeous Schrades or SchrAdes as my fellow Knife fiends ( whom I thought were my friends 🤣 ) kept reminding me I say it wrong!!!

17466320029663395703131448478928.jpgthe snap on this ny knife company is better than alot of my newer knives, I'm surprised to find on most of the older knives the pen blade looks more used than the main,when I worked as a pipe fitter the pen blade was used for reaming out the inside burr and then to clean the dirt under your nails,a very useful blade.

Very nice example of NYKC bone jigging.
 
I agree with our friend Lambertiana Old, that's a nice NYKCo.

Here is a rarer one I picked up a while ago. a large New York Knife Co. 4 Bladed Knife with ARMY KNIFE Shield. Although Carbon spotting the Blades are full, and typical NYKCo the walk and talk is excellent.
This knife has a punch so very similar to the Mayer punch, but it is one of NYKCo's Punches not too often seen, J.E Fuller have two Punches under the Patent J.E Fuller, but this knife throws us a curve ball- the Punch is correct, but the cold stamped Patent is a different date- this seems a factory stamp - I have seen this punch and own a few of knives with this punch, but this one here the date holds a little secret, it may never be found, it will always be on the shelf for me though to seek out just why.
