Antique New York Knife Company Knives and Company History

[Primble]

I have spent a good portion of yesterday and this morning cleaning up this old knife. A picked bone New York Knife Company pre-Hammer Brand tang stamp, which I expect puts this Eureka Jack from the late eighteen hundreds to early nineteen hundreds. Rare to see a clip main on any Eureka Jack. Very good snap on the blades.
Both blades marked NEW YORK KNIFE Co., WALDEN. Three and five eights inches closed.

Real nice NYK, Rob!!! Those older-style clip blades, with the curved-up "clip" hold something special!!! They make the modern straight-cut clips almost boring!!

Thank you all.
I love the New York Knife Company. They made some really fine knives ............ knives that have stood the test of time and use.
Most of the ones I have still work like they are not old at all. Wish I could say the same for myself.

If your signature line was completely true ............. "Traditional Pocketknives are good for you!!" ............ I'd be all mended up by now ............. like a spring chicken !

Another beauty, Rob, and I too prefer a clip main Eureka. Makes a great everyday pattern to carry.

Harness Jack and a barehead Jack:

Great HJ, with a J.E.Fuller punch, patented ca. 1916!!
And that E.O.barehead is a sweet machine!!

I just acquired this Electric Cutlery Co. pen knife which, I believe, has ties to the New York Knife Co.
