Dimitri and Lyle,
I appreciate the comments and I meant to include these photos of the "2nd" knife earlier, but I got caught up in some other issues. Here is a photo of the entire knife and a specific photo of the flaw I mentioned before.

Here is the first Kingston with an etch I have ever seen (actually it may be the first mint Kingston I have ever seen). Not a high dollar knife, but unique.

Thanks.

Here is a nice old sway back jack from American Shear & Knife. 3 1/4" closed. Half stops x 2.

I wanted to show off this etch that you rarely, if ever, see.
I wanted to show, also, the name "Hotchkissville" Conn. as that is never seen.
Hotchkissvill is part of the town of Woodbury, Ct.
