comp56 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 well while cleaning the basement I came across a Circa 1950's Mklien & Sons Hawkbill knife, from what I know they changed the stamp to Klien Tools in 1968ish this knife has a plastic handle and either it was extremely durable or it was hardly used as the wood grain on the handle is like new.I'm not sure but was told this style was designed for the US Navy?...... oh ya shout out to the Chicago boys, Eric and Dan where it was made... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas2000 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 They are very good knives. Used one to strip wire back in the early 70's when I was doing electrical work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
