I really like the jigging on that Hatch. Sweet kinfolks hunter and HSB coke bottle as well.
Rob- my friend one of those was gifted to me - I carried that Knife - being from the same era as myself on my Wedding Day! Special Knife- the Bottom one!
Rob, they are out there, every now and then you can sneak one out from under Paul and Duncan but it ain't easy

Beautiful HSB OVB Coke Bottle John! I believe that it was made by NYKC hammer brand. The pin pattern with two brass pins holding the covers, the shield and the saber spear blade shape are all NYKC. I have a couple of NYKC Jacks one a Coke Bottle just like yours same length 3.75" same pin arrangement and shield but not with as pretty handle covers. Mine are dark Ebony. Put HSB on the pen tang and OVB on the primary blade tang and it would look just like yours. I also have a NYKC bare head Jack jigged bone handles with that exact same saber spear blade profile, shield and pin layout. I share your enthusiasm for this large jack!
I had one of those with the same blade broken (sheepsfoot, I know from BLR). The only one I've seen completed on the auction site also had the sheepsfoot broken.This knife belonged to my Brother-in-law's grandfather. Remington Silver Bullet? Four and three quarters inches closed. The small blade was broken off at the tang so there is nothing to open there.View attachment 766821 View attachment 766823 View attachment 766824 View attachment 766826
Interesting, there must of been something about those sheepfoot blades that made them tempting for opening by prying. Did you know anything about the age of the knife?I had one of those with the same blade broken (sheepsfoot, I know from BLR). The only one I've seen completed on the auction site also had the sheepsfoot broken.
New find from solingen - Schmachtenberg Bros.
Looks like a swayback lambsfoot almost. I think the handles are some kind of horn. My book dates the mark anywhere from 1887-1939.
I though the blade stamp was super cool! Anyone have more info?
Very cool! It took me a moment to decode the rebus puzzle of a stamp.New find from solingen - Schmachtenberg Bros.
