Cattaraugus Jack with PunchView attachment 3033172 Jack Knife

Is there a reason very few knives today come with the blade emblem punched instead of painted,you would think that alot of makers and distributors of knives would like the etch to last by being punched or does it weaken the blade,there has been so many unique etches that I would have liked to see survive countless uses

I, too, like stamped blades!!This stamping would indeed last the life of the knife!!

The knife below is very old - near 200 years!!! The Oates name still quite visible!!

French cutlery seems to have had more of a tradition of stamping their blades!!

Interesting.
Profile resembles a Wharncliffe, yet clearly states it is a lamb foot.

Thanks, Steve.

I keep going back to look at this knife, Mike! It's such a classic traditional!!

Thanks Duncan and Charlie. It has a slight bend to it, probably from being in someone’s back pocket.
