Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Thanks D.
Some A-hole ran the blades through one of those *&#$(**&#^^!!! ELECTRIC knife sharpener things and did not do that darlin any favors.
What do you know about that little bitty Kingston "rope" knife? It's probably better suited for cutting twine. Has a HECK of a snap to it though.

Well, it was made by Ulster, they stopped marking them that way around 1958. Some say it has a U.S. Military background. I do know that the U.S. military used a two blade version of this knife since WWI, Case, Schrade, Camillus and others made them for the Government. However, this one is smaller then the ones mentioned. They are well made and all the ones I have handled had excellent snap and were finished very well.

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
I have seen an Army/Air Force order for a single blade (sheepsfoot) TL-29 from around 1965, although it doesn't list the length (although since they refer to it as a TL-29 it's likely the standard length, not the short version). This was from Imperial (Kingston was a joint venture between Imperial and Ulster). I'll see if I can dig any more up. The Kingston stamp was used for some time after the war, at least into the late fifties/early sixties.

Here is an old Imperial, one with solid bolsters, not a shell handle.
It has pretty celluloid.
Imperial had good blades and nice celluloid.

Jack,
That Rodgers knife is real nice!
You don`t see a lockback master blade with a secondary pen blade very often
How long is it closed?
