Antique New York Knife Company Walden Swell Center Lockback Folding Hunter Bone

  
Swell center lockback folding hunter pattern pocket knife, made by the New York Knife Company, 1850s to 1930s. NEW YORK KNIFE CO WALDEN is the tang stamp (there is no Hammer Brand stamp). Brass liners, old-style hand-peened brass handle pins. The blade end bolster is iron; the lower bolster is nickel silver.

The blade has smooth action, great lockup, slight side to side wobble. Jigged brown bone handles, no cracks. The back handle has two small well-done repairs (patched areas) on the bottom edge of the handle, one at each end. Used and carried, blade shows some loss from sharpening.

The knife shown in the photos is the exact knife that you will receive. See my other listings for more collectible knives. Any knives listed as having BONE handles have handles made of Bovine bone from the South American Zebu cattle. Any knives listed as having STAG handles have handles made of Sambar deer antler - naturally shed.
