Eric, Super Knives & NYK documents. How do you find this stuff? Here's an old Lock Back Half Whittler. These pics have been posted a few years back but I think they are appropriate for this thread. It's 3 7/8" closed.

Man, awesome knife! If I could have a custom knife consigned tomorrow, that would be the pattern. Never seen the likes of that before, thanks for sharing.

Eric, I've always felt this knife belonged to a carpenter in a past life. It was well taken care of and kept razor sharp. I thought when I first acquired this knife, that it was a "special order" if there was such a thing back then. But after some time searching, I found this knife in a Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co. catalog. I believe all of the knives in the catalog were NYK made knives. To this day I have never seen another one of this pattern. I'm sure it's not one of a kind. Barry

Another great thread, Rob (I'm kinda behind the times 
). Some really beautiful NYKCo knives from everyone!
This one still has a faint "Hammer Brand" etch, although it doesn't show up in the photo.

It's probably not Barry, but then again I'd imagine most of it's brethren were used to nubs and tossed out. Heck I'd never even heard of the NYK scimitar until Mike showed me his beauty.
Here's a George Worthington giveaway knife with its G. Worthington box . They were a big customer of NY Knife company back in their heyday:

Too funny. I am on Ken's list and that was exactly who I was thinking of when I mentioned going custom with this pattern. Thanks for the link.
