Yup,Yup,and Yup all are right.Eric.. I would let you sit on Teachers knee but all this romantic talk makes me a little nervous mate!
"The Regimentals" series of 6 knives from 1979 after Schrade had bought Richards Holdings and Rodgers- Wostenholm in 1977.
Manufactured at the Sheffield , England factories with the famous Rodgers 'Star and Cross' *+ Tang <which had been famous since 1682>.
Brochures for USA showed Imperial Knife Company.Inc. Providence Rhode Island 02903. A Division of Imperial Knife Associated Companies,Inc.-In Canada Imperial International, Ontario and in Europe Imperial International Rheinland West Germany.
<According to Codgers research on previous posts the factories were sold by Imperial in 1982 to British Firm Western Knives who closed in 1983,then the late Jim Parker leased the I*XL trademark 1983/84 and The Eggington Group purchased the Rodgers and I*XL trademarks in 1986>
I love the I*XL series knives produced at the same time and believe they were equal to or better than Schrades best however I would not like my life to depend on the quality of 'The Regimental' Series which were never going to give Swiss Victorinox much competition!!
The bling with the knife shown which is The Scots Guards R90 states its a select series of precision campaign knives created by Joseph Rodgers and Sons Ltd. of Sheffield.Six hand crafted rugged models each named after the Regimental Guards that inspired them.
