Excuse my excitement, but I really like old knives and I really, really like a bargain,
The story.
Went to the gun show sat. I did not need anything, just socializing and having fun. Lots of guns and knives at retail or above. EXCEPT one dealer had a shoe box full of knive for a dollar each. Most were offshore junk. All were either rusted, dirty, broken, or a combination of all three.
Then I found this! An old Imperial, Marked Imperial Prov USA. Carbon steel. Very nice, Cracked Ice finish scales.
Very dirty, some rust and gunk, broken at the very tip on small blade.
Good snap to both blades and no wiggle!
I spent some time cleaning it up and here it is.
Not bad for a buck, huh.
