- Everyday Carry (EDC) is a very popular topic these days. However, not long ago, during simpler times, everyone carried a simple pocket knife as part of their daily routine. Once knife company, Imperial Knives, was one of the largest knife makers in the country. Enjoy the travels down memory lane.

You are correct Mr Tom, when I was a kid we always had our pocket knives (my first knife was a 34OT) and we carried them everywhere, even to school. I had never seen the car key knife, what a great idea. Thanks for this Imperial history lesson. God bless.
You're welcome, OB! I remember carrying a pocketknife to school and whittling on a stick during recess. Thanks for dropping by, my friend.

Any budget knife, is better than no knife! And some of these knives were carried by our dads, and uncles, which give them special meaning 😊

My very first knife was the classic Barlow with the brown plastic clamshell handles back in the 80s. Then my dad, who was a school teacher, confiscated a cracked ice imperial fish knife, from a student threatening another student, and gave it to me. Loved both of those knives so much, those thin carbon steel blades were like scalpels. I didn’t get into collecting until a few years ago in the pandemic, started buying some rough Ryders which got me back into slipjoints, and when I started buying vintage stuff on eBay, I knew what my first 2 purchases would be…that Barlow and fish knife by imperial, just for the nostalgia of it. After all the vintage Queen, Kabar, camillus, Shrade, etc, I still find myself carrying one of the Rhode Island cutlery’s like imperial (hammer brand too)or colonial. I like changing out the handles, or I personally think they’re great knives to add custom bone handles too, without bolsters. You are correct, they were well made, and had great 1095 carbon steel, and most I own have really nice walk n talk action. They were the “rough Ryders” of their day. Really digging your videos. We collect ALot of the same knives, and it’s sure fun learning about their history from guys like you and Tobias and Rasputins castle. Lots of good info. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing that wonderful story with us, Joel! Isn't it just Delightful to discover these old gems? I appreciate you dropping by, my friend.

Neat history for those. I never heard of the key knife. That duel Hammer knives are really cool. Nice locking hawkbill. Probably my favorite pattern. Thanks for sharing!! 😺⚔️👍🏻
The key knife is unique. I thought someone had just modified their knife, but it turns out they were made that way. thanks for watching, BB.
Brother this was a very interesting walk down memory lane .Thanks so much Tom

Sweet collection and awesome history.

@@knifedelights7473 you are very welcome my friend. Yeah i did
Tom its a shame that the 60s and 70s are behind us. I grew up in them and remember what it was to go into a hardware store and get a knife for under a dollar 😢. I think back of when life was simpler and better. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏
I agree, Howard! I miss the more simple times. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Dang ol key knife 😁👍
Pretty cool, isn't it Zen? Thanks for dropping by, my friend.
Really enjoyed this background info. I have that exact same “trick knife” with the pearly handles. It belonged to my late father. I never had seen another one until your video. Can you give me any ideas on its age, and its potential value?
It is probably from the 40's to 50's era, and I'm not sure what the value is. I paid around $15.00 for mine, but I've seen them listed for more on EBay. Thanks for watching, Mike.
Great video! I have one of the wooden DE small stockmans from Ireland as well. Any idea what years they were made?
If it is stamped Imperial Ireland, it's probably from the late 80's to the 90's. Thanks for watching, Tarheel.
@@knifedelights7473 it is indeed. Thanks for the reply 👍
👍🏼
Thanks for watching Radar!
