Guess the pattern:

Based on the arch of the handle, I'd guess a Congress (or "half congress" since it appears to have 2 blades, and not 4.)

 

[Mike Robuck]

Yes! Half Congress. That didn't take long. Any thoughts on the company that made it?

 

[afishhunter]

That I don't. I cannot quite make out the first or second letter of the blade etch.
I do suspect the knife is as old or older than I, and I really don't know that much about the makers or who used that font.

 

[Jfowler]

New York knife co , hammer brand half congress

 

[Mike Robuck]

Bingo jfowler. I wish I had a prize for you.

 

[Jfowler]

Lol , that is a nice knife Mike . I'm not sure how old it is but it does have some age on it for sure . I'm gonna guess and say late 20's or early 30's .

 

[Mike Robuck]

It has the Walden stamp but I'm not sure if it's late NYK Co. or earlier. Just got it today.

Trusty as the stars
Who quit their shining working
Prompt as when I lit them
In Genesis' new house,
Durable as dawn
Whose antiquated blossom
Makes a world's suspense
Perish and rejoice.

Trusty as the Stars by Emily Dickinson

That is a piece of art...wow !!!! Love it and Thank You for posting it Tell your Dad

I had to look up the Fleur de lis in the symbol.
From Wiki :
The fleur-de-lis is the main element in the logo of most Scouting organizations, representing a major theme in Scouting: the outdoors and wilderness.[1] The three petals or leaves represent the threefold Scout Promise (Duty to God and Country, Duty to Self, Duty to Others) in much the same way as the three leaves of the trefoil represent the threefold promise for the Guides. Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, explained[2] that the Scouts adopted the fleur-de-lis symbol from its use in the compass rose because it "points in the right direction (and upwards) turning neither to the right nor left, since these lead backward again." The two small five-point stars stand for truth and knowledge. Together their ten points represent the ten original Scout laws. The reef knot or square knot represents the strength of World Scouting. The rope is for the unity of Scouts throughout the world. The ring holding the petals together represents the bond of brotherhood.

Thank you both. Thank you Genonovich for all that nice info. My dad will be 92 in a month, and will share this info.
I can still remember fairly well the Scout Oath & Law I would say at every meeting. Guess the old brain isn't too far gone yet
