Nice Floyd, an Empire?

Thanks Lyle. I'm not sure who made it. All 3 blades are stamped Shapleigh Hdwy.

Here's an old Shapleigh Hdwy whittler I picked up on ebay. I love the handles on these old knives and also the swedge on the main blade. 20241219_143215.jpg20241219_143038.jpg20241219_142923.jpg20241219_142912.jpg

Not too recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a VAN CAMP 708, two blades, one tool (a punch or awl), two tang stamps, 3 1/2" closed, two springs, cattleman, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp says, "VAN CAMP (over) USA" The main blade back tang stamp says, "708" (the pattern #) The shield is a replacement shield, it is NOT original to the knife. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does have an OK closing snap. The secondary blade does have a WEAK half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The tool opens and closes properly, without any issues. Overall, this pocket knife is in FAIR+ condition. This pocket knife did require some VERY minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Whoa Ike. That is an exceptionally beautiful old knife. Handles are beautiful. Blades full. This old doglegg likes that old dogleg. Congrats.
