One of my older knives, not sure what pattern as there' no number on the tang just the letters AGI on the other side.
The smaller pen blade is super thin and still has a gorgeous swedge ground into it, not only that but the blade is super flexible, bending approx. over 60-70 degrees while returnin' to a perfectly straight blade.

"Here's an old, carried, worn Diamond Edge serpentine jack that probably dates approx. 1930 - 1960. 3 1/16" long, brass pinned and lined, ebony hafted, nickel silver diamond shield and bolsters... including not often seen rear candle end style. The pen side bears an extended spring. There is still a somewhat visible but dim blade etch. Along with the knife are attached some catalog pages from their 1942 catalog, including a listing for the pattern in bone stag"

One more, a Union Knife Works Cattle Knife, (not sure on the pattern) It had a broken blade I turned into a box cutter, this is a great EDC knife.

I believe this is a WWII issue for Army Engineers and Marine Corp. Still in great using condition. Very nice bone, pinned shield, notched bail, steel pins, 4 line stamp, and some well deserved patina. Unfortunately no history on previous owner.
From page 35 of the Camillus 1946 catalog on the Camillus Collectors Website, thanks again Larry, for the great reference sites! This is a great old post war catalog. Fun to look through.

Wow, it's hard to keep up with the flow here!
Some great Cell-handled knives, Charlie N. Rare to see a stockman with a spear blade! I always marvel at how well Robeson hid the POCKETEZE tangs without making the knives look bulky!!
Great utility knife, Hal. Great bone handles were produced during that era - Rodgers bone maybe.

One of my favorite patterns. The electrician. This one is my favorite. Tang stamped Dasco, Rockford, Ill. and 964 on the back. I search out these knives...in particular because of the great locking mechanism they use. Unlike the TL-29 locking mechanism, the screw driver is unlocked by pressing down the secondary blade against the spring while in the closed position. I also love the bone on this particular knife

I found this little Imperial this afternoon in an antique store.
How large is this knife? Is it a bit larger than a regular TL29? I have a Challenge Cut Co in ebony (I think) that has the same locking mechanism -- a hoss of a knife - a bit larger and heavier built than the standard 3 3/4" TL29s. This locking mechanism was the standard for the original spec WWI Signal Corps electricians knives.

Produced for Dasco by Schrade Cut Co - closer to WWI than WWII, IMO. Just before they went to the linerlock style.
Nice Electrician's knife Campbell!
