Re: Imperial knife
Imperial knives, like this, were produced with the "shell" handles and thin celluloid veneer, as a cost-cutting measure. They were mass produced and would be lucky to bring much more, than the cost of mailing it. They have good metal and take a good edge. Would make a good "user", to throw in the pocket.
