I'm not totin' a pair of trappers or other twins for Twosday, as I am totin' some surprises that I received last Friday. As I have recounted previously in this thread, several buddies and I gather occasionally at our favorite local establishment for laughs, lies, and libations. I usually bring a few folders and fixed blades to get/keep the conversation going. A couple of the guys fish/hunt and, so, are interested, but mostly the guys kindly humor me. On last Friday, one regular mentioned that he had accompanied his wife on a short "antiquing" trip to West Virginia. To stave off his boredom, he asked the various shop owners if they had any guns or knives. Along with strange looks, he got to see some backrooms and odd boxes of tools and junk, he said. No guns. He did pick up a few knives to help my recuperation from the kidney stone extraction, though he warned, "they can't be worth much, given what I paid for them." Then he placed them on the bar:

A Vic Spartan from 2005-2009, a Case 6205R from 1971, and an L. L. Bean Pocket knife from ? I thought I was going to cry, but got away with a quick hug. Recovery complete!

With it is this big ebony handled cigar jackView attachment 1103617Purists would have passed on this when they saw the crudely cut, homemade easy open notches, or the worn and scratched blades, but I love this old boy. I used the dremel to polish out the ragged EO notches. The blades on this beast took a wickedly sharp edge.
The original tang stamp appears to have been ground off and overstamped with
EAGLE
PHILA
This is what I found out about it:

I carried one of those back in 1966-70. At the time there was a common rumor going around out of the rescue/rigger shops that the knife was one of the many government contracts gone bad, and the shroud cutter (the hook) was supposed to be automatic opening, (which would’ve made alot more sense) & not the blade. Out of curiousity I checked it out a few years ago on the error-net & that rumor proved to be false.

If this indicates that you served, please allow me to offer you a belated thank you. A large part of my research came from this previous thread: (See Response #6)

Yes, Ron, he is. He knew I have a TL29 affliction, and did not have a Robeson. They’re hard to find.

So how were those Wisconsin bratwurst Harry grilled for you?

When are you going to show off that nice old cattle knife you found?

Sorry you missed snagging that Imperial utility jack, but your cattle is beautiful.

Jeff the fresh Wisconsin cheese and curds were delicious. The fresh brats were the best we’ve ever had! Boiled in beer and grilled to perfection by Nancy and Harry, a team effort. They provided some great food for Pam and I! I relearned a lesson I have known for years with that Imperial! The time to buy it is when it’s in your hand! Harry mailed my knives to me and they are supposed to be delivered today. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some photos this evening or in the morning. Thanks for the compliment on my carries for today! :)
