Old knife from my inlaws' estate. Markings read "Imperial" and "Providence, R.I.". 3" blade. Plastic handles. Operates smoothly, after a little cleaning and sharpening is appears as good as new aside from the patina.
What kind of blade style is this? What's it intended for? Father in law thinks it's a blade shape intended for fishing... but I think it was just the knife his dad let rust in the bottom of the fishing tackle box.

Those are sometimes called Sailor's or Rope Knives, although they were used for all kinds of utility work.
