I saw that knife as well, very nice. A little too rich for my blood at this stage in my life but that's neat it ended up in good hands.
These Coke bottle folding hunters are a bit related to this NYKCo Hammer. Note particularly, the similarity of the blades on the first two on the left to the from left to right: Hammer Brand (no NYKCo stamp) 1938-1941; Hibbard Spencer Bartlett - OVB, 1884-1969; Ulster Knife Co., NY, 1876-1941; Harris Brothers & Co, Chicago, IL. I believe that Ulster produced knives for HSB, though the hunter here, I believe, was by NYKCo, as was the Hammer.Here's the NYKCo Hammer Brand I mentioned (1931 or earlier based on life span of NYKCo).

So here is a knife I received yesterday. I'm using the seller's pictures because I can't seem to take any good ones myself. 4 ¼ closed.
That is a nice looking knife!Coke bottle shape, lockback NYK.

Thanks and heck of a knife Charles. Great photo by John. I would need all of your treasure trove of NYK Co. knives to write a book...
Thanks Charles. I'm more of a back porch kind of guy, but it's good to be on any porch at this point with knife peeps. Here is the rest of my NYK Co. collection:
Here's a Remington Bulldog that was only available if you subscribed to Hunter-Trader-Trapper magazine. Remington used the same frame for a three-blade knife. This Bulldog pattern appeared in Bernard Levine's Knife World column a while back and I was lucky to get a copy of the HTT magazine with the Bulldog ad in it.
I love those H-T-T knives, IIRC there were a number of patterns offered over the years. Does it have a pattern number? Somewhere I heard that Remington promo knives did not have the pattern number stamped on the tang. I know this is true for the Wrigley gum promo jack.
OH MY! That's a beauty!I used Bernard Levine's appraisal service a lot when I first started collecting and I'm still learning from him. (It has been the "red hot poker of knowledge" at times.)
Thank you Duncan. I appreciate the kind remarks. I had a lot of help (and knife pictures) from BF members on that book. Can't thank them enough.
