Imperial Ireland

I've had this one for awhile. I bought it years ago at one of the first flea markets or yardsales I went to. It's been sharpened a little. It has/had some kind of logo? on the hollow type handle which has been worn or scraped away. It has Imperial Ireland Stainless on the long blade. It was probably a "give-away" knife from a company? I like it as it's small and handy to carry.

That knife was probably made by Imperial Schrade... in the Listowel, Ireland facility.

the logo is the diamond edge trademark bought from shaplieghs hardware some years ago.

Let's see what I've got here (pause)...

Rustle...rustle...dig... more digging...

OK,
I've got a single bladed Irish Imperial in the same frame...and I've got an Imperial Diamond Edge...but, I don't have them together on the same knife...

Just as a little information.

Here's my Imperial Ireland; a recent give away but a very handy knife, smooth action and tip-top snap.
Is Ireland competing with China here?
