I have become the owner of a imperial Kamp King Knife can anyone thell me any details about this Knife. It has a knife blade a can opener a bottle opener and an awhat I would describe as a pig sticker closed it is about 3 3/4 inches long and the entire thing is made of metal. I believe it is 1960s but not sure

The name "Kamp King" was first used by Imperial in 1935 and was filed as a trademark and issued in 1940. The Kamp King knives were made for many years afterward. Dating your knife is not possible without seeing it. Post a picture and we will try.

Here is a cardboard counter display for the Kamp King circa 1958. Sorry, but it is wrapped in plastic to keep it clean in storage!

I remember when I was a kid I had a few of those growing up. Great knives!

I found a KK at the local fleamart about fall '08,
looked to be in worth saving condition.
