All About Pocket Knives

I recently acquired this Eagel Knife Co. two blade knife pocket knife. I have a second Eagel knife (single blade) I purchased a long time ago, next to it for comparison. I know the Eagle Knife Co. was only in business from 1916-1919 so these knives are not very common and difficult to find. I have never seen one with two blades and no etching on the handle. I reviewed the prior AAPK threads about the Eagle knives and was hoping someone might have some additional information. I was especially wondering how rare it is to find one of these two blade models. I have seen the Eagel knives come up for sale on eBay very infrequently and noted they do not sell for very much money. I know rare does not always mean there is value. Anyway, I was hoping someone has information about these 2 blade models.

Lots of posts and threads here on AAPK with info about Eagle Knife Company. Mostly inexpensive, many with two blades. Here’s one: viewtopic.php?t=62550&start=25.

They were makers of "popular priced" simple no frills pocket knives back in those days so not a lot of collector interest when compared to the big makers. I'm sure there are some who do collect them though as their obscurity would make them and interesting item to hunt down. The George Borgfeldt Co was the sole distributor of the knives so if you can hunt down one of their old catalogs from that era you might find some images of the Eagle knives they offered.

Thanks Eric! Great information! I checked all the AAPK threads before I posted my photos. There was not a lot of information about the Eagle Knife Co. to be found. Very useful information! Thanks again
