A Wallkill River Works whittler. Interesting mark side blade polished, pile side crocus finish, it also has both tang stamps that Wallkill used, Wallkill Walden on 2 blades and Wallkill River Works on one.

Beautiful knife, John! I think it was quite common back then to crocus polish the mark side and leave the pile side with a glazed finish? Often to facilitate an etch.

What a beautiful knife, John.
You sure dress up this forum with your fabulous collection of fine knives. A pleasure to look at.

Wow! My new favorite of your recent posts. You should start a creme de la creme thread and make that knife the poster child.

PACKLEADER. If it is a New York Knife CO. knife it will be stamped on the pile side tang. This is off the top of my head, so results may vary.

Has edgy46 said,if it has New York Knife on the back of the tang, then NYKC.If not it is an Imperial.
At the least it had been rehandled with abalone.

[PACKLEAD3R]

Thank you both!

Here's a stag knife from Charles "Chuko" Lamb's collection that I was able to buy from his son. I suspect other members here were able to buy NYK knives from him as well, so maybe those will start showing up here. (Not my photo, because it's in focus and actually shows what the knife looks like.)
