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.

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.
