Hi everyone:
I bought this in a lot of pocket knifes, looks like Imperial but there is no mark on tang.
Just the Imperial Crown logo.
lenght closed = 3.25"
Could it be Imperial?
if so, production date and steel material ( looks like 1095)?
walk & talk like brand new.
TIA

I believe this to be a 70s Imperial, not expensive new but good quality.

That round shield with the crown is an Imperial marking for sure. Very unique blade selection. Is it a single spring?

That's a nice clean knife. I like both of those blades.

That knife is an altered stockman with the main blade and spring removed!!!
Note the "extra" liner!
