ADDITIONAL INFO:
This is a beautiful old knife from around the time of WWII. The PAL BLADE CO. stamp as only used from 1940 to 1945 According to Goin’s. As you may know, during the War, most knife production went toward the war effort. This knife is unique in the regard that it seems to have been produced for the Civilian market. It is a beautiful knife that has obviously seen it’s fair share of work. While it still has plenty of life in it, I think it will make a fine addition to someone’s collection where it can set there and look pretty.

HALF STOPS: Solid half stops an all blades except the punch.
SNAP: Strong snap on all blades with a bit less on the punch owing to the lack of half stop in that blade.


ADDITIONAL INFO:
This old knife is in remarkably good condition considering it is at least 56 years old and has steel liners and bolsters. I had to buff this knife to stop the active surface rust. It snaps like a bear trap on all blades except the punch, which still has a strong snap (just not a bear trap). There is some pitting on the main blade but it is not too bad. Most of these knives I find are badly rusted and pitted and most have about 50% of the main blade left. This knife is the happy exception to that rule.
