Imperial Ireland stockman

Post by Owd Wullie »

Good friend of mine bought this at a gunshow this weekend. 5" long, stockman advertising knife.

I know COMBIOTIC was around in the 80's, never used NEMEX to worm anything, but I don't know when Imperial was making these things in Ireland.

Acme agri supply is an Arkansas company.

Any ideas as to when it was made??

Schrade bought the Listowel plant sometime around 1977-78, but I don't think knives for U.S. distribution were made there until the mid-1980's. They continued production until 2003, so your knife could have been made any time during that period. Nice knife!
