Looks to some us that it came from the PLATT'S factory after he bought it.

Thanks Paul. I wish I could take credit for the re-handle job but I bought it from Parker KCS in 1990 and it was listed as a re-hanled knife. Whoever did it did a beautiful job for sure. Slim.

Got this Imperial Easy Open Bone knife a little while back. Though it'd qualify for this thread as the tang stamping dates it to 1936 - 1952

Nice one Paul. ::tu::
I would like to see closeups of both those handles.
I can't tell if they are stag or bone.
Is it eaiser to tell with the knife in your hand?
