I am offering some fine collectible pocket knives for sale. See my other auction listings for more collectible knives.
IMPERIAL PROV. RI USA. This is an original older USA made Imperial knife, made in the Imperial factory in Providence, RI.
This is a quality made solid-bolster knife. Imperial offered this Diamond Edge line from the late 1960’s until the mid-1970’s.
Model 322, two-blade folding hunter, 5” closed.
Staglon handles, no cracks. Brass liners.
The front handle has some faded areas due to exposure to light.
I do not know what the blade steel is, but most of these were stainless.
Both blades have strong snap.
The clip blade has very slight side to side wobble.
Never used or sharpened, some minor tarnish to the bolsters.
Great older knife for everyday carry and use.

Some states have started requiring eBay to collect sales tax on items going to these states. eBay has a list of those states that have started collecting sales tax in 2019 on online purchases. This is nothing I have control over and the sales tax is automatically added to your total by eBay if you reside in one of these states.
