imperial Prov.R.I.usa

[ahgar]

i picked up an old electrician knife marked as above.condition is good with just some minor shrinking of the scales. blades show very little use. my question is could anybody give me an idea of the age of the knife. I don't know anything about imperial and the little i do know is that i thought they were made in Ireland. any help would be appreciated. thanks,ahgar

Here's a link to an earlier thread. Some good info in there.
I have a stockman with the same markings that I just bought from kiahs. As far as how old. I don't know, but they are great knives.
