Re: Does anyone know what these numbers mean?

Another question on this... why would a company not stamp there brand on the knives. Like with this one if it is an Imperial why did the company not but imperial on the knife and just use the patent numbers?
Also why are there three patent numbers?

Re: Does anyone know what these numbers mean?

i had tried googling the numbers as one long number and was getting no where, but as I was typing the post I thought maybe they were three seperate patent numbers. When searching the first patent number I got this in my search results. So I am guessing the same thing you said. Thank you so much for ...

Does anyone know what these numbers mean?

I havent found a tang stamp on this one, out side of the long list of numbers 2284833/2689400/2479855 and U.S.A. So I assume it was made in the United States but do these numbers mean anything?
Trying to do research but hitting a wall, will let you know if I find anything out.

Not exactly a pocket knife...

Hello, was wondering if anyone had any information on this knife. The only stamping I have located was the United on the blade. It isn't what I would call a pocket knife so I don't know if you would be able to help but it is worth a shot.
Thanks in advance,
Jessica

Re: Help identifying a couple knifes

Your ...

Re: Cleaning Knives

If you’re mostly just interested in reading the tang stamps I’ll save you some reading. Get a number 2 lead pencil, sharpen it. Using the lead (graphite) point, gently scrub the tang stamp area with the graphite. Then use a soft cloth to wipe away any excess loose graphite and crud from the blade t...

One of the gentlest ways to clean a pocket knives, if warm water will not da...
