It is an EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY (1916-1919), two blades, two tang stamps, tang stamp, 3 3/8" closed, all metal, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "EAGLE KNIFE CO (over) PAT. ALL’D (over) MADE IN USA” The secondary blade front tang stamp says, “EAGLE KNIFE CO (over) PAT. OCT. 1.18 (over) MADE IN USA” This is my eighth, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY pocket knife, that has two blades. This is my forty-second, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY pocket knife. ALL forty-one of my other, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY pocket knives, have been previously posted, under and throughout, this topic or thread. 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 knife or cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar, simple construction. The main blade does have a GOOD half stop. The main blade does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a NASTY closing snap. The secondary blade does have a CRISP half stop. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a NASTY closing snap. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife did NOT require cleaning. 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.

I looked at these pocket knives a little more closely. MY above quoted ***** NOTE ***** etc.,

The main handle side is a ruler that measures in 8ths of an inch. The main handle side says, "SCOUT KNIFE" This pocket knife is a "cousin" of the EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY, the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, the GEO. SCHRADE KNIFE CO., INC. and other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar, simple construction. This is my third, “SCOUT KNIFE.” This is my first DIXON “SCOUT KNIFE.” The other two are EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY, “SCOUT KNIFE” pocket knives. The other two, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY, “SCOUT KNIFE” 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. The cap lifter or bottle opener with a screwdriver tip, opens and closes with no problems.
