Going through some of my dads belongings I fount this pocket knife. I’m wondering if this is a Shapleigh Diamond Edge pocket knife.
Thanks, Greg

Yes, I agree. It looks like the later shell handled Imperials that were marked on the handle with DE. Is the tang stamp Imperial with the USA running vertical on the far right? I have a couple of these DE marked Imperials as this one.peanut740 wrote:No,it`s later.

Welcome to the forum Crosswhi! Generally the shell handled Imperials are pretty low on collectability ratings. Although they are great knives with fantastic carbon steel blades there were a blue million of them made and sold as they were Very cheap to make.

Probably not so much. It would be a EDC user to me.Crosswhi wrote:Olde Cutler. Yes as you described. Any collectible value?

Thanks for the inputs. I have about two dozen knives to research. I do have a nice Shapleigh leather stack hunting knife with a 4 1/2 in blade.
