Schrade made some commemorative pieces marked as New York Knife Company around 2002. Very high quality. So far I've seen a muskrat and sharpfinger. Does yours have paperwork and is it a plain white box?
 
IIRC, when I brought this up (some time ago), Larry or Codger said those had been a SFO for SMKW.
It was new to me, I hadn't heard of it either until I saw one on ebay, last year as I recall.

Yes SMKW circa 1995. Several patterns actually.
NYK8S
NYK34S
NYK94S
NYK77S
NYK152S

These had stag handles, modified Empire shields (except the 152?), 440a stainless blades.

I've seen the 152 pattern with quite a few variations in the appearance of the stag. I suppose some could have been trial pieces or rejects.

150th Anniversary

1852 Hammer Brand 2002

Serial 066

This may be a different series than the Sharpfinger
 
Yes the 77NYKC. These were worked up in August/September of 2001 for preselling at the Blade Show. The initial order was for only 500 pieces serialized. Amber jigged bone, plain white gift box screened in-house, warranty #7180711. These were not made for SMKW, from what I can learn. They were for Long Lewis Hardware (Birmingham, Alabama founded 1887).
