@@Tarheelsteel I definitely agree 👍 I stumbled across a vendor on Ebay that was selling Imperials from a collector in Colorado. It is eye opening to handle a 20's or 30's Imperial that is in NOS condition. The fit and finish is as good as it gets on these older Imperials.
Some how I found 2 of the certified Production Board knives. I will have to pull out the 2nd one and show it in a couple of weeks. Glad you liked it .. it really is a beautiful knife. Take care brother 🙏
Really enjoyed the video. I just got a Imperial 2 blade swell end jack. Drop point 1936-52 tang. Looks brand new. Is there another way to figure out its age?
@@dennismcmenemy9714 It is hard to narrow it down, the only reason I could narrow this one to a 5 year period was that it came from the pre WW2 production board. I have another production board knife from the late 20's.
Very nice
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice! Some of those older Imperials have absolutely stunning covers. Thanks for letting us have a look!

Also might make some videos on some of my knives one day.
@@dennismcmenemy9714 Let me know when you do it !!!!
Cool bit of history. Love the covers on the small bolster. Just being on display for all those years probably explain the pitting and other issues.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias even worse it was displayed in the open position, but it is still one of my favorite knives. Thanks for watching.
That's a beauty for sure brother 🇺🇲😎✅
That is a great looking piece. Thanks for sharing and God bless you.
@@Stans_Cutlery_Universe Glad you liked it Stan. God bless you and have a wonderful 4th
