Cool!

Never seen one of these before.
Be a good EDC for our friend Madmarco.

These will also be found marked Case or Cattaraugus. The handles with their sharp edges would be very uncomfortable for much use. A guy I know also has one marked Kinfolks but it is a rare mark on these.

You're right about the handles. I wouldn't want to use one for very long

The Imperial ones have an integral guard rather than a separate guard that can get lost.

Yeah Wayne, and the Imperial handle is much more user friendly.

I have the Catt with a guard but that Imperial looks way more user friendly.
