Yes sir, Ken, you really landed a good one. Such good condition.
I may have mentioned it before but that's a nice "Sweetheart" caliper too.

Re: Empire Knife Company
Geez Ken that Empire wittler has so many good things going for it. Warncliff and coping blades, stable celluloid handles and it’s an Empire. Your a lucky man. Steve B.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Re: Empire Knife Company
KAW,I believe your Empire is a later knife that Parker had made in the late 1990's,early 2000's.A closer picture would help.

Re: Empire Knife Company
Yes, that's correct. Kaw. If you'll look look at the stamp Winsted is is spelled incorrectly. These were made in Germany on contract with James Parker as Roger and Mike have stated.

Re: Empire Knife Company
After a little more research... I found out this is a Bulldog Brand knife bought by James Parker in 1991... 5th Generation... made by the Olbertz factory in Germany between 2000—2003. After closer examination, I found the poorly stamped double dog head tang stamp on the secondary blades. The scales are also suppose to be some sort of horn.

Re: Empire Knife Company
Very nice Mike ... definitely one of the nicest scout knives I’ve seen given the MOP ... I assume MOP was somewhat out of the norm for scout knives?

Re: Empire Knife Company
Very nice, old Empire knives everyone! I picked this one up last week. It looks to be double stamped to me? The bail (spelled correct?) isn't original for sure. I believe someone drilled the hole themselves? I'm not very familiar at all with this brand so I really don't know? I love it though!!

Re: Empire Knife Company
Definitely not a commonly used handle material . Usually presentation pieces or special ordered .

Re: Empire Knife Company
Added an Empire ebony Jumbo jack this week, just over 4" and heavily built, still has some etch remaining, second word is definitely KING, first may be DREAM, anyone ever seen an Empire with DREAM KING?
Re: Empire Knife Company
I researched this before I bought it and Empire mad these for this hardware company in the late 1800s I believe...

I agree Glenn, thank you!
Re: Empire Knife Company
Purchased this one from Roger. When I was getting ready to take pictures, this red and green tissue paper was laying around to be used for gifts, so I thought why not? I feel sorry for me, having to buy my own Christmas gift.

Ike, you treat yourself awfully well. Wonderful old knife.
