Thanks Lee, I had never heard of Warwick either, just happened to find this one after this thread was started. I try to stay away from MOP, and I only ACCUMULATE older rare knives if I come across one. Would have passed on this one except I had seen this thread.

If he hadn't been there it would have been a lot cheaper, but I was happy anyways. Hurt some to let Myron have the Invincible, only let him have it after he pestered me for about 20 years. (LOL)
Gezz Gino, first you beat me out on that PB then you go and rub salt in the wound by telling the world, what a guy!! ::dang:: I think as a means of healing for me you should send me that Camillus trapper I've been wanting ::nod::

I have a Warwick and I will get it out and take a picture of it.

Great knives posted and Eric that picture and billhead are the best.

Here is my 3 1/16" Warwick. Mint condition, sorry about the crappy pictures it's raining here in AZ and I could not get the light I wanted.

The picture is dated 1908.

Mike that is a sweet little example too. You still have the "Business" PB, I never had one of those, so you shouldn't feel too bad about the Invincible. Trapper is still home, not ready to leave for a while yet.

Sweet lookin' knife Mike.
Just received my copy of "Knives Of The Hudson Valley" by Richard Langston I purchased here on AAPK.
It has a section about Warwick Knife Co.

Here's another Warwick knife currently up on eBay by 1fartsmella (Barry) and ending on Sunday evening for those interested (item # 143001735696) -

Personally I think it is a sweet example of a classic old Warwick in great condition and wanted to post some of the photos here for posterity ..

I'll bring this thread back from the dead. Here's my WARWICK pocket knife.
Normally, I wouldn't buy a pocket knife with a broken blade.
However, this pocket knife was an exception due to the tang stamps.
I couldn't quite get a picture of the tang stamps the way I wanted to.
The last picture is the seller's picture of the tang stamps.

WARWICK
KNIFE CO.
NEW YORK

Per GOINS - c. 1907-1929 This knife manufacturer was on Factory St. in the town of Warwick, New York. The first city directory listing was in 1907, but it is believed to have been in business before that time.

Belknap Hardware contracted so many knives from Warwick, that they had little time for the manufacture of their own. Therefore, Warwick marked knives are extremely rare.

Great knife Ike.Besides making Primble knifes, I believe many of the A Fields Progress and Levering knives were made by Warwick.
