I picked up a Knife yesterday in Dorking with tang marked only U.S.A., with a picture of General Eisenhower on one side. Found a General Grant version on Worthpoint with box of CKC. But can find no information about these knives online. Can anyone help with the provenance of these knives please?

I don't know much about these pocket knives. I do know that there is also a Patton,
a Rommel and a Grant pocket knife. I think there is a Lee pocket knife, but I'm not sure.
There may be even more military/historical figures pocket knives in the same pattern or
style. Again, I am not sure of this. Someone will stop by and answer your question(s).

Maybe Colonial? There also seems to be a lot of remakes in that style with Coca-Cola, Elvis, Popeye, Superman,etc., anything nostalgic. I'd be cautious. J.O'.

Interesting, only the second pocketknife I have seen with Ike on it. I have this Old Cutler stockman "Eisenhower" that was made by Colonial.
