Hi all, first I would like to say this is my first post in here. I have browsed this sub forum for a few months and enjoyed a lot of the threads and pics.


I mentioned to my mom lately if we had any knives from her Dad (he gave us a SAK when young). She found these 2 knives from my uncle and step dad.
These pics were taking by her (pretty good) and sent to me, I will pick these up soon and get more detailed pics for y'all.

I would not want to EDC either just carry around the home. Both people are no longer around and were close to me so these will get a display box and similar ones (if I can find them) to be carried and used more.


Would be nice to find out what they are and l will go on the hunt for 2 like them so I can carry them.



Here's the pics because every thread needs pics:thumbup:












Traditionals and Modern Pairings thread was the first that got me started looking into pairing one with all my moderns, which is all I have owned with SAKs until I started on The Porch.

Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II was the next thread I went and eventually looked through all of it and learned that

-Jack Black and Stich2442 take great photos but make me too hungry lol

-I have a yellow CV Sodbuster jr that I cut limes with for Patina (always liked copper patina but getting into CV and carbon steels)

-No thumb studs or pocketclips, I will try my best to post by the rules Mods :D


Thanks for the help, I look forward to posting more pics and threads.
 
Do you have any pics with tang stamp showing? That would help a lot. Regardless, I will guess the the one with the caplifter is maybe a camco, an autopoint possibly.

the other is probably a stamped shell Imperial. Both look to be 50's or 60's vintage.
 
No pics of the tang yet but I will get them as soon as I pick these 2 up from here place. Thanks for your help!
 
The celluloid on the looks like it may be de-gassing. You often see that pattern of pitting on the blades when that happens.
 
I think glennbad is correct. It looks like this Lipic which I was told was made by Camco C.1920-1940.
Someone else may be able to be more definite.
