U.S.A. only on tang

[Gone2Three]

Good morning friends, it's been a little while since I'd been looking at knives to buy. Was called back from furlough recently, plenty of hours available so getting some cash flow again.
Anyways.... the reason for this post is a question about a U.S.A. tang stamp on a blade of the knife. No other markings, looks like carbon blades older knife maybe. Just wanted to see if someone might know what maker used the stamp.
Appreciate it, hope y'all are doing well. Hoping to start back on adding some new knives to the stash

Looks like Colonial.
A picture of the entire knife could confirm.

That isn't a "X" on the tang stamp with "IDEAL", it's the word "THE." The tang stamp reads, THE IDEAL - U.S.A.
