Thank you, GSPTOPDOG.

Very recently, my trip to the post office produced this advertising pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the latest example to be added to my collection. It is a G. SCHRADE, one blade, one tang stamp, a cap lifter or bottle opener handle, 3" closed, all metal, advertising, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "G. SCHRADE (over) KNIFE CO. INC. (over) B’PORT. CT. (over) U.S.A.” The main handle side says, "Drink Nugrape" (written). The other handle side also says, "Drink Nugrape" (written). This is my eighth pocket knife, that is in this particular pattern or style, that advertises this specific product, company, business, event, etc. This is pocket knife number forty-one, that is in this pattern or style. My other forty pocket knives, that are in this pattern or style, have ALL been previously posted, under and throughout, this topic or thread. While this pocket knife is NOT an ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife, it DOES fit into the "cousin" category. It is a "cousin" of the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY, the EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY, the ETCHED P. COMPANY and other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar, simple, pattern or style. The main blade does have a GOOD half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

ALL forty of my other, EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY pocket knives, have been previously posted.

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 WEAK half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition.

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.,

Found this at an antique store last week. I think this is the appropriate thread to post this in

No spring but it locks open and closed

This pocket knife did NOT need cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Yes, it is Floyd.
It’s getting more and more difficult just to find and
obtain ANY Allen Cutlery Company pocket knife.
But, I do enjoy the hunt.
