Fantastic "Boy's Knfe" 😍
Blades look mighty full, too.
I didn't know some of the Rider of the Silver Screen knives were Hammer Brand. I thought they were all Camillus.
Maybe only the moose pattern of the series was Camillus?

BTW ... Hoppy was the toughest of the best of the best Riders of the Silver Screen (and radio). When HE entered the saloon and ordered a beverage, it was whiskey. All the others got a "Sarsaparilla" (A.K.A.: "Rootbeer") ... the wimps ...🙄😁👍

I read online (so it must be true ... 🙄) that the censors got on Hoppy's case "for language" more than once.
Apparently the "gosh", "daRn" and "gosh daRn it!" used by all the other screen (and radio) riders (and General Robert E. Lee, one of the few Zero demerits graduates of West Point, and later Commadant of West Point, who never used a word stronger than "daRn" in his life, according to his contemporaries.) did not sufficently and/or adequately express Hoppy's feelings?

Hoppy was also the first screen rider to have the lunchbox with thermos for school kids.

I decided on the silver finish instead of brass 'cuz the watch chain and pocket watch ittle be paired with are silver.
Presuming it is the same quality as the two thrifty Mikov knives I have, it should be solid, and hold a edge.😁👍
