Closed, this knife could easily be mistaken for a US Army or Marine issued multi-tool of the 1960's or 70's.  However, this is a stockman knife rather than a multi-tool.  From what I've ready, Kingston manufactured this style primarily in the 1940's.

The master blade and the sheepsfoot still have good snap and no wobble.  The pen blades is a little sluggish though.

This is a tough knife made to last, and it's done just that!

For those that appreciate knife history, I found this about Kingston.

"In  1943, Albert Baer (owner of Ulster Knife Company which he purchased in 1941) organized Kingston Cutlery Company (an old Ulster trademark), a joint venture with Imperial to make government contract knives. Chief among the knives made under the Kingston brand were the TL-29 (K-29, K-29-W) Electrician knife, and the MIL-K-818-D (K-4611) utility knife. Both Ulster and Imperial received “E” awards for excellence as suppliers of these knives.

In 1946, Albert Baer, under Kingston Cutlery Company, bought Schrade Cutlery Company and renamed it the Schrade Walden Cutlery Corporation. It became a division of Imperial Knife Associated Companies Group which includes Imperial Knife Company, Inc. of Providence, R.I., Ulster Knife Company Inc. of Ellenville, N.Y.,Schrade Walden Cutlery Corp., of Walden N.Y., and Kingston Cutlery Co., addressed New York, N.Y."
