Wow !!! There has to be a good story behind how you came to get such a fine example.
Just got lucky, no good story I'm afraid!

Posting this union/kabar hobo at the suggestion of another user. I believe the handle is a false pearl celluloid which is pretty neat. Sheath came with it so the previous user must've liked having it handy.

Don't know if you personally are cool but your knife sure is.

2 old 4 liners from Camillus . The slot knife with bones is 3 and 7/8 inches closed . It is stamped on the fork and knife but not the spoon. Some reference is that Holley also used that spoon among others . Don’t know who made the spoon for the Cutlery Companies . The Red Cross ( or some refer to Christmas knife ) is 4 1/2 inches closed . Main is 4 line stamped ,Spoon is not stamped . There is an article here somewhere that states the Red Cross knife came about during a holiday party and while drunk the idea got kind of twisted around. Will post it if I can find it here in all the info on this forum .
Stay sharp out there.

I read somewhere that the Red Cross knives were too late in production as the war ended and many wound up as surplus. Can't remember the source. ::shrug:: I had one and the metal of the spoon had an odd yellowish color. J.O'.

Just picked up these 3 Joseph Rodgers knife/tool sets. I’ve seen the cases before but never a whole set. One of them has what I believe is the former owner. Lt General Bourne. I looked him up and he was born in 1882 and had that rank right before WW2, he retired during the war. The Napanoch came with the 3 sets from over the pond in the UK😁

Thanks Skip, I had been told there were Rodgers made sets and like I said I saw the pouch for one in an auction but never saw any complete. The 2 sets are missing one item, top section on the right. Small headed screwdriver
