Nice find, Skip! ::tu::

I haven't met a New York Knife Co. knife I didn't like. Very classic look and awesome jigging. I like that double pull too. ::nod::
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thank you Dimitri.🍻
The other handle is completely missing.
But it belonged to a close relative of mine and
I don't remember the knife ever having both handles.
It's for that reason that I don't try to have it fixed.

Can't believe I never saw this thread! Here are a few from my accumulation over the years. The last few I will post are ones that I "believe" were military issue overseas and one that is pure fantasy but I had to include it.It is the last picture in the last post. Some are self explanatory and others not so much. I will try and post descriptions as well.
#1 Amefe KL-63 issued to Dutch military. 63 is the date of manufacture.
#2 Camillus"Red Cross" knife supposedly issued to WWI troops.
#3 Camillus USCG approved 1944 with jigged wood handles.
#4 Camillus 1967
#5 Camillus TL-29 knife.
#6 Camillus TL-29 knife out of the TL-14A kit shown further on.
#7 Camillus S702. Supposedly this was a military issue item.
#8 & #9 A pair of Camillus USA knives.
#10 Camillus 1968

Page four.
#1-#2-#3 are knives that are supposed to be military issue to German and Swiss military personnel.
#4 Pal Blade Co. easy open. Not sure if this was military issue or not.
#5 is an unmarked 3 blade military STYLE knife.There may have been a bail on it and the name could have been on there.
#6 is somewhat of a mystery.This multi-blade knife has what looks like a broad arrow mark on the blades but it also has cyphers in some foreign language as well. I thought it might be of Indian origin and issued to troops there.The quality is;shall we say,sub par.
#7 is a total fantasy made in England in the 1960's and allegedly a German paratrooper's knife.I bought it knowing it was a total farce but wanted it for posterity.
