Johnnie I had that one on my watch list as well. I knew I couldn't afford it but I still enjoyed watching the bids roll in. I doubt that you'll find one better out there.

Looks to be in solid condition.

I can't make out the tang stamp. Who made it ?

If I could find deals like that I'd love yard sales too. ::tu::

the tang stamp on main blade reads, " MADE IN
USA "

no other identifiers...scales are hard rubber?
it is a well built knife...break a nail opening the blades...

Gringo- that looks to me like it might be made by Camillus.
They were known to use the MADE IN U.S.A. stamp on some knives.
The pattern and handles look like some I have seen Camillus use on knives made under the KENT brand for Woolworth stores.


IMBand- Nice score! I love the steel in those old Imperials!

LF&C Scout knife I traded for last week. In Levine's 4th LF&C is listed as the fourth Co.
to make Official Scout knives. Do you know what year that might have been?
Bryan thanks for the browse button. A couple clicks and the light etch might show.

Ed Holbrook says in Official Scout Blades that your knife was made from about 1931-1939.
Looks like a very nice example. ::tu::
Is there a can opener blade that is not shown in the picture?
