It is an Imperial made knife... a newer one at that (used to be made in USA, sent to Ireland, then China). They make great user knives!
Or Google, apparently
Google? That the new fangled interweb thing? Don't know if we get that fancy stuff here in the sticks. Does it come with the aol disc we get from the postman?
I don't know what zep is either. When you google and find out, you'll be smarter than me. 
Production of Imperial knives moved from Rhode Island to Ireland in the mid-1980s, and the Ireland factory closed in 2004 a few months before the Schrade Bankruptcy. Current Imperial knives are all made in China for a different company, as were a few Schrade models in 2004 between the time of the Ireland factory closure and bankruptcy.
Not sure of the current values, but I have a similar Irish peanut purchased after the bankruptcy. (It's the top knife in the picture below.) Without checking the purchase records, I think the '04 closeout price was $1.38.
