Here is a tang stamp I've not seen before.
JOHN
CHATILLON
& sons NY

I think it is a moose pattern with smooth bone handles and steel liners and bolsters. Clip side bolster is larger than the Spey side. 4 1/4" long closed. Still snaps like a gator. Anybody else have one or information about the company? I think they made scales for weighing but not sure what else. Thanks Steve B.

PS. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. Gotta get a real camera.

Nice knife and love the handles. Goins says they made knives,cleavers, and other butcher tools from 1835 till about 1937 when they stopped making knives, but still in business at the time of Goins printing. Hope that helps.

Thanks Bill. I was hoping someone with a Goins book would see this. Good info.

Awesome knife knifegnome

... No doubt a rare and obscure maker - and a hard stamp and knife to find

Your knife was made by Phoenix Knife Co. Chatillon owned it until it burned down in 1917.I have had that pattern marked like yours and Phoenix.Great pattern.

Roger, thanks for the info on CHATILLON and Phoenix knife. I've never seen a Phoenix tang stamp in real life. Another one to add to the Holy Grail list. Thanks Steve B.

peanut740 · Post by **peanut740** » Mon Mar 19, 2018 12:53 am

Steve,Phoenix marked knives are rare,you'll see way more marked John Chatillon.

knifegnome · Post by **knifegnome** » Mon Mar 26, 2018 11:54 pm

The only marking is Hofmann,beautifull stag and 3 backsprings.

Miller Bro's · Post by **Miller Bro's** » Mon Mar 26, 2018 11:58 pm

wow! How long is it closed?

whitebuffalo58 · Post by **whitebuffalo58** » Tue Mar 27, 2018 2:01 am

Man, check out the stag on that beauty!!

Here's one I think is pretty obscure, I can't find ANY info on it at all. Both blades stamped "Best Ever Cutlery Co.-New York", also has a faint etch on the primary blade. Single heavy backspring with spacers to offset blades. I'm thinking maybe a contract brand from Schrade?
