I have this old Imperial (R.I.) shell handle slippie that I don't really have much interest in.
I know people collect these, so I thought I'd put it up here for trade so it can go to someone who will appreciate it.
The knife is 3" closed, walks and talks just fine, and has very little corrosion (maybe stainless?).
Tang of main blade is stamped:
IMPERIAL
PROV. R.I.
Handle is pressed steel shell type construction with faux mother of pearl overlay, which is undamaged.
The 'bolsters' have lost a little plating, but the knife is in generally good shape and would look nice in a collection.
The blades appear to have never been sharpened, but are actually surprisingly sharp.
I know these were budget knives and not particularly well made, so I'm not asking for much in return.
I've been buying a lot of Rough Riders lately, as I like inexpensive users, so if you have any RR's or similar knives collecting dust, reply to this thread with 'I'll take it' and this little Imperial is all yours
