Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I had a knife given to me little while back.  It was pretty nasty looking, but I thought from the shape and stuff, it was just an Old Hickory knife.  One of those cheapo kitchen knives.  As I was cleaning it up, I saw it was not what I thought, but rather a 'Stewart's Hand Made' knife.  Yes, Hand Made is in two words.

It looks a LOT like the Old Hickory knives.  This one has two (2) rivets in the handle not the three that I have found examples of.

The blade is obviously a plain jane carbon steel.   it takes a nice edge, but I do not know yet about the edge retention.

Does anyone have any information of these knives?  When were they made?  Why the 3 rivet vs 2 rivet handle?  is there a date of manufacture that corresponds to the number of rivets?

I am not expecting this to be worth much at all, but I really want to know more about the company, but for whatever reason, I am not finding much at all so far.  I need your help!  :)

The rivets were recessed into the handle .015 - .020".  Besides the difficulty in cleaning the rivet heads, I really didn't like that look much.  So I sanded the top surface of the handle down so that the rivet heads are now flush with the wood.

In my opinion, it looks and feels better!
