Thanks David, Roger, Mike, Mike R, and Floyd.
Mike R., $24/dozen sounds like a great deal! Thanks for posting that, nice to see.

I’ve had this NYKnife MOP for few years. I think it should go to someone who has matching initials. Looks to me that the initials are C D R. Tang stamp is NEW YORK over KNIFE CO over WALDON. Closed length is 2 7/8”. Blade etch reads “De Luxe”. Good snap.
PM me with your address if you or someone you know would like to have this little beauty and I’ll send it to you. Steve B.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Looking for Carrier Cutlery and early Robeson with Elmira tang stamps.

Thanks knifegnome and doglegg for your nice comments!

Knifegnome I am particularly fond of Robeson PocketEze, Mastercraft, No-Rustain and Perma lube folders. But mainly the PocketEze line. I also pursue and collect Schrades (anything pre WWII). I am also a big fan of NYK folders ::nod:: How about you? 😃

I just added an all metal, New York Knife Co. to my collection.
It needs a little clean-up and I need to fix the tip of the main blade.

BUT.... it still has a nice blade etch that reads...."E H BEST & Co"....

Here is a few sellers pics...

This should be a fun one to clean up... :D

That's a nice little knife, Mike.
The New York Knife Co. stamp is always a plus.
Very attractive graphics on that blade.
