I'm sure all of you have a small box of knives that are your favorites and that you would never get rid of. Here's one out of mine. I've always been led to believe that the "CCC" on the handle is authentic civilian conservation corps and not an indicator of one of the brands that used the same or a similar logo. Can't quite make out the stamp on the blade but a pretty cool piece despite its authenticity. Any info would definitely be appreciated. Thanks!
More pictures of knives out of everyone else's "small box" would be cool too!

It appears to be a promotional item from a sardine company. Still pretty cool.

Cool old knife but unlikely to be associated with the Civilian Conservation Corps. Such “frills” would have been frowned upon during the Great Depression. What looks like “Norwegian” embossed on the handle is more fitting for a sardine canning company, and it appears to have the same logo as the company.

Thanks for the info! I had stumbled across the Concord Sardines logo while doing some research whenever I first got it but couldn't remember the specifics. Still one of my favorite pieces in my collection, even though I don't particularly care for sardines.
