Very recently, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent example to be added to my collection. It is an EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY (1916-1919), one blade, one tang stamp, 3 3/8" closed, all metal, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "EAGLE KNIFE CO (over) PAT. PEND (over) MADE IN USA" This pocket knife is a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, the GEO. SCHRADE KNIFE CO., INC., the VALLEY FORGE CUTLERY COMPANY, the ETCHED P. COMPANY, and other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar, simple construction. Overall, this is my thirtieth, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY pocket knife. ALL twenty-nine of my other, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY pocket knives, have been previously posted, under and throughout, this topic or thread. The main blade does have a WEAK half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

ANY previous post involving EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY or related pocket knives (CRUSADER & DIXON),
should NOT have "one spring" or "single spring" in the description of the pocket knife. The "spring"
on ALL of these pocket knives, is the "bend" which forms the bottom of each pocket knife.
***** NOTE ***** NOTE ***** NOTE ***** NOTE *****
I looked at these pocket knives a little more closely. MY above quoted ***** NOTE ***** etc.,
is WRONG! In regards to ANY and ALL previous posts involving EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY or
related pocket knives (CRUSADER & DIXON), they ALL do have an actual spring or springs.
It extends from the pivot pin to the center pin. The spring on ALL of these pocket knives,
IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT the bend which forms the bottom of each pocket knife.
