Unknown Manufacturer of Kitchen Knife (With Dexter) See pictures

My grandmother gave this 8 inch kitchen knife to my mom in the early '50's, and mom put it away for fear of   getting tetanus from a cut. I found it after her death. The wood is so silky soft, and it cuts SO much better than modern knives!

Can you help me decipher the name that preceeds Dexter on the handle?  I'm not looking to sell this - curiosity however, is certainly driving me crazy!  Hope you enjoy solving this mystery!

Thanks to all who gander and offer alternative spellings and any help!

My sincere appreciation,

Ellen

I am guessing this is the maker, and the other symbols on the handle of your knife might be a number. With earlier/later versions the pin configurations may have changed,..and on size of knife. Clean that rust off, use some food grade oil and a super fine steel wool to tidy it up, and a nice edge, and it should be all good to go again. Still has some years left in it!

I'm seeing HG on the handle, so it looks to me like it's a Dexter Hollow Ground​ Boning Knife.

Here's a current production 6 inch version.

Definitely a keeper. Like Manx said, clean it up and put it to use.

thanks J.J.Smith - I think you found the right one!  Oh heck yes its a keeper because its the only thing I have from my grandma beside her glasses. She died about 4 years after my mom got the knife - she died about 1957. So its very sentimental to me.  But the facts mean so much more to its importance too.

I'd say JJ nailed it.

.

I've also knives of little material value .. that you could not buy from me for a gazillion $.

Like yours .. they all have family history.

For me .. ea use elicits memories .. fond memories !!!

Yup .. I'd definitely clean it up & put it to use.

Thanks Guys!  Ellen, we hope you stick around and enjoy the knife history we tend to share
