Herder, wonderful NYK Company Big jack!

Here is another NYK Company Hawkbill Knife branded and sold by Marshall Wells Hardware. I became interested in Marshal Wells Knives when I found this folding hunter a couple of years ago marketed by MW but obviously a NYK Company Knife.

I have since been on the lookout for them and when this Hawkbill showed up on EBay I had to go for it. I now have three of them. This folding hunter, Hawkbill and a pen knife. Many MW knives were made by NYK company.

Marshall Wells Hardware Company was started in Duluth MN in 1892. It was a wholesale hardware company. Sometime around 1917 the hardware part of the company name was dropped and it became just Marshall-Wells. Both of these have the Zenith Globe trademark on the mark side blade tangs (the Hawkbill etched on the blade also) and Marshall Wells HDW. Co. On the pile side blade tangs. These two were probably then produced sometime between circa 1892 and 1917.

Hello Luger remember me old Bowie. I have one of those Marshall Wells Coke bottle folding Hunters beautiful knives.
 
Here's one I found a few days ago. It was so odd I thought it was a cobble job, but turns out it is a legit Valley Forge pliers knife pattern. Sadly, the main is short, but otherwise, it's all there. I like it regardless...

You know Dan I’m not sure on the handles. I was told years ago that they were pressed horn. Then there was a thread on AAPK that went back and forth and most said stag. So I’m not sure but love them.
I have 2 other knives with the same handles but can’t show them, file too big but I took them with my phone like this one so do t get it??
