Antique New York Knife Company Knives and Company History

[ea42]

That's an incredible piece Mike! Noticing that it lacks the Hammer Brand stamp so it may be pre 1882 making it a very old one! The incredible pic bone is another clue to its age. That one's the cream of the crop in that group amigo!

Hey Eric; was NYK part of that historical Bone Shop collective handlemaker??

Charlie yes it was, along with Walden Knife Co. VERY scant info on that venture unfortunately.

Mike- creme de la creme !! Absolutely amazing. I cant imagine ever being able to come across such Knives - and it's so great to be able to view them so a massive thank you for sharing these Mike.

Charlie, I am sure there would be a queue for that HJ, Anyone of us would desperately try to be in front -just stunning! The same goes to you Charlie- thank you for sharing your stunners - we are very lucky here.

Here is another one from the same group I was able to get, never seen this etch before and I love the pick bone on this one. 3 1/2" closed.View attachment 2104882View attachment 2104883

Nice Golden Rule.

Thanks again guys for the comments.

Here is the next one from the group, it's 3 3/4" closed. Again I have never seen a NYK deep stamped on the blade STAINLESS STEEL! There was an article in the Feb KnifeMag about NYK and there was a pearl pen knife shown with that deep stamp on the blade. Attached is part of the article. The back tangs of 2 blades are also marked Stainless. Pretty cool knife.

Mike another beauty! I've got a stainless NYK pen with the same stamp. Unfortunately it's seen a bit more use than yours:

All of them are great Mike, amazing group of knives to acquire at one time.

 

[Mike Robuck]

I would be thrilled to get any one of those Mike but all of them at once is a grand slam.

 

[galvanic1882]

Thanks guys and wait till you see the last one!!!

Come clean, Mike, you either won the lottery or held someone up at gunpoint to get all these wonders. And now you say the best is still to come?
Oh my, my . . .

 

[galvanic1882]

No lottery, just hard work finding them and a long time making the deal!! That’s part of the fun

 

[galvanic1882]

One more thing, I used to not like to trade but have since enjoyed the experience. Traded for this NYK last year.

 

[black mamba]

Wow, what a sweet swedge!

 

[galvanic1882]

Thanks guys!!
Here is the last one from the group of 7 that I was able to get and a picture of all of them in the display case. Knife is 3 3/4" closed and has INK!!! Always love the etch and ink. This is my favorite of the 7!! No brass on the knife, nickel silver liners and pins.

 

[waynorth]

Truly amazing collection, Mike!! ( galvanic1882 )
Congratulations on the work and effort that goes into such a beautiful deal!!
