Not too recently, this multi tool, scout, pattern or style of pocket knife, arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper. It did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is an Imperial, one blade, four tools (a cap lifter or bottle opener, a can opener, a punch or awl, and a phillips head screwdriver), one tang stamp, 3 3/8" closed, three springs, multi tool, scout, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "Imperial (with the crown) (over) PROV. R.I." with a vertical "USA" on the right side. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does have an OK closing snap. The four tools ALL open, close, and function as designed. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

ObsidianEdge your MB knife is a gem.

Here are two Case Tested knives with 3 springs. A 63038 and 93109, both 3 3/8" closed. The 3 springs are necessary to accommodate the extra-long secondary blades.

Two very impressive knives. And explanation is appreciated.

Not too recently, this advertising and or waiters' pattern or style of pocket knife, arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. It will NOT be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It will go in my broken pocket knives box. It is in the shape of a champagne(?) bottle and advertises two different brands of champagne(?) It is a HENRY SEARS & SON 1865, two blades, two tools (a cork remover and a foil cutter), two tang stamps, two tool stamps, 3 3/8" closed, milled liners, three springs, advertising and or waiters', pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp (curved or arched style) says, "HENRY SEARS (over) & SON (over) 1865" The cork remover front stamp says, "KORN'S (over) PATENT" The secondary blade back tang stamp (curved or arched style) says, "HENRY SEARS (over) & SON (over) 1865" The foil cutter stamp says, "REGISTERED" Half of the main handle side is missing. The other handle side is 99.999% complete. The two blades are broken. The two tools are intact. Both of the blade stubs have a VERY CRISP half stop, with a NASTY opening and closing snap. Both of the blade stubs are VERY SHARP!!! The cork remover tool has a good half stop, also with a very good opening and closing snap. The foil cutter has no half stop and no opening or closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in POOR condition. I just cleaned up the blade tang stamps and the tool stamps. I took some pictures and here it is.
