Blish-Mize & Silliman Hardware Company cattle knife. The age is probably from the 1940's. It measures 3 1/4" closed. One blade is 2 1/4", the other 2 1/16". The punch is 1 11/16". They all have a wonderful patina with a nice snap and no play. Appear to have full blades. The spear point blade has very attractive swedge. The jigged bone scales looks to me like warm groove pattern, have no cracks and are not loose. The liners are brass bolsters are lined NS. This is truly fantastic knife that doesn't get pocket time and as I don't keep drawer queens I am moving this beauty on. 85$ 75$ inc. Paypal fees and shipping with tracking number. According to Blades guide and their value, some of these knives were made by American shear and knife co. The HDW store is still operating, here is a link (thanks to Jake) of some older photos of the store and owners http://www.blishmize.com/about-us-2/...bright-future/.
