Here is the last one from the group of 7 that I was able to get and a picture of all of them in the display case. Knife is 3 3/4" closed and has INK!!! Always love the etch and ink. This is my favorite of the 7!! No brass on the knife, nickel silver liners and pins.

In keeping with the NYK knives I have been posting here is something a bit different. Salesman would send out notices that they were on their way to prospective buyers before going to see them. I am always on the lookout for them. These two I bought years apart, years ago. One is from a salesman for Electric Cutlery and the other is from a salesman from NYK co. 10 years apart but the same salesman!! Go figure. The 4-blade knife on the right is an Electric Cutlery NJ knife and the 5 blade is a NYK co knife. Calling card are on top.

Thanks to Roger Cunningham for offering me this unique NYK Hammer Brand sheepsfoot jack. Small knife 2 7/8" with a lot of features for such a small knife, curved frame, double bolster, rat tail bolster. Easily the smallest sheepsfoot jack in my collection, pictures show it next to a curved Ulster sheepsfoot for size reference.

Thank you all for the comments ::tu:: ::tu:: J.O., I don't consider a sheepsfoot jack a loom fixer, if you look at the loom fixer the blade flares out going towards the tip where a sheepsfoot blade is straight, I categorize them as 2 different blades.
