For this post I figured I'd put the old knife with an old camera and get an old (looking) picture.

That looks fantastic. It's really hard to beat one of those.:thumbup:My "new" best friend followed me today, and it will be with me for the foreseeable future.

Walking in a dry creek bank and came across a walnut tree that had already aborted most of its nuts. Figured I would cut it open just for curiosity's sake. The walnut juice stained the blades immediately.
Picked up this little shadow pattern out of $1.00 knife bin at an obscure old open air flea market near Fort Pierce Florida several Sunday mornings ago.. Every other folder in that old bin was the el cheapo style wally world found-on-the-ground types.. This one was all rusted shut and caked with dirt/mud and initially I was unable to see anything familiar. Then after a good long stare, the only distinguishable characteristic I could see was one of the broken mother of pearl scales.. So I figured that just perhaps, she was worth my time cleaning her up to give her a shot at my edc rotation... I gave the vendor my buck and stuck her in my watch pocket of my jeans..
Fast forward to last week and a good two day mineral oil soak, lots of elbow grease and a little re-work with a sharpening stone and a file and here we find a 4 Blade marked 4901 and NEW YORK KNIFE COMPANY WALDEN -- HAMMER BRAND..
