Thanks buddy!I don't know that the builders have upped their game so much as it being an auto! You see these fileworked Pakistani knives all over the place, but it being an auto is out of the norm, not totally unheard of but few and far between that's for sure! The thing that attracted me most was that in the listing it said "Ships from Canada", which led me to believe things are changing up here regarding autos, but no such luck! All the details are in "Comfort Knives"!

I spotted it in one of his recent piles he had acquired.
The tang stamp is about gone but with magnification it is obviously from the 1958-60 era. It has imitation Winterbottom handles. It still walks and talks.![]()
The Queen 1960 catalog calls it a Balloon Pattern. One of the other resources refer to the #56 as a Swell Center. It is 3.5" closed. The clip is pretty good, the 56 on the etch is still visible but the pen blade has been sharpened quite a bit.004.JPG001.JPG007.JPG

Good old e/o's hold a special place in my collection; something about a bare-bone, get-'er-done, honest old military knife, that hit's just the right place.

As for my fishing, the line is still in the water. I may need to reel it in, take the $10 off the hook, and replace it with a $20 to catch my intended target.

Those are some nice ones, David!
I got an Imperial fish knife in today. Though it's not perfect, it still looks pretty all right to me. I believe it still has a factory edge.

I have none of them now. No idea where they went

Thats some handsome and cool cutlery you've all been posting guys, thanks for the show you put on!
These 2 were in my mail today, and they're more for filling space in my displays than anything else, although, the Leverletto seems to be a fine little knife for perhaps occasional carrying!

Neat find Dan and appears to be in good shape. I kept one in a tacklebox for years. They were budget knives but worked.
