I have had this tiny fixed blade since from probably '69 to '74. I 'won' it at the county fair with one of those cranes that you crank a handle and usually never get anything. It has a nice cracked ice handle, shield, and most important it says U.S.A. It has a little leather sheath that the top part has fell off and lost. Not sure who made this, I'm guessing Imperial maybe. Anyway I think it is pretty neat little letter opener knife.

Case XX USA 6318. Fifty (plus) year old bone is good stuff.

Yes, made by Imperial. The ones that was usually in stores on a Display Card came with a small sheath. A dozen of them only weighed 16 oz. One like yours was called a Little Buckaroo NB-3 and they advertised them as Pocket Hunters. Here is an excerpt from a 1959 Imperial Catalog.

Wow Smitty, I really doubted I would ever know anything much about this knife. Thanks, really appreciate that. I'll see what else I can find about the little knife!

Good stuff? You're being far too modest, that is GREAT stuff, great bone color, great condition, great piece period. Wow.

joeradza,That is a great looking Tony Bose knife. The somewhat subdued colors of the covers are beautifully refined. It is simply an outstanding knife.

That Case is a real beauty, Jtx.

Likembikem - that little knife is a cool bit of history. I had one very similar if not identical way back in the last century. Mine was some kind of souvenir.

Very fine knives and photos, Ivoryman and Joeradza.
