My Imperial

[gundude73]

well at least i think it is nice
i was given this knife a long time ago by a family member, i have always liked the way that it looked. i *think* it has MOP, or what looks to be MOP, handles. a main blade, and what looks to be a combination fish scaler and bottle opener. it is one that i will never get rid, blade is about 3.25-3.3" and it is US made. thanks for looking and feel free to share your thoughts :thumbup:


here is a pic of the knife

and here is a pic of the tang stamp, also shows the handle close up.

That is very neat looking. I was just given an Imperial slippies to sharpen and get back to usable condition for a co-worker.

Nice! I found it's twin in an antique store a few months ago. Gets sharp! Very thin blade, too.

I was helping my brother-in-law break down some boxes when he moved. I used my Imperial fishing knife, and cut thos boxes small enough to fit in his recycling bin. I must've mad 1,000 cuts. The blade was HOT from friction, but was still cutting. I couldn't believe the edge holding on this knife. Great cardboard slicer.
