Odd Imperial knife

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Odd Imperial knife

Post by jy426 »

Hello!
Can anyone tell me if this is a true “Imperial” knife? The stamp doesn’t match anything I’ve seen unless it’s a prototype or something.

Fairly common 1930s Imperial fixed blade knife mark on a fairly common Imperial outers pattern knife. Imperial didn't make a lot of fixed blade models at the time but they all carry the script Imperial mark.

Welcome here, jy426.

Nice one. Looks like a lefties rig.

Welcome to AAPK!
I was not familiar with the Imperial fixed blade knives, and am glad to learn something new. Thank you for posting that beautiful old knife!
