Knife ID - anyone know what this is?

[funkeecowboy]

I came across this recently and don't have a clue what it is. Anyone recognize it or know anything about? I assume it's a camping oriented blade but I'd like to know a little more about it if possible.

4 7/8" blade
imitation stag handles (I think)
Only markings are "can opener, cap lifter, & pat. pend."

Looks a lot like an old Imperial or Colonial made knife to me. Probably made in the 70's. General camping knife.

Agree - My dad had an Imperial that looked very similar (without the can opener stuff...) But the handle and general layout of the knife is unmistakably an Imperial or something really close.

Thanks guys, I was thinking along those same lines but wanted some other opinions as well.

I would agree but the front serrations throw me off. The handle definitely gives off an Imperial / Schrade look. It may be an uncatalogued run for the Boy Scouts / Montgomery Ward / military. I have looked through all my old knife value books and pubs but cannot find it specifically.

I also had an Imperial just like it when I was a kid.

I bought mine in the 1960's for 80 cents from Western Auto. Imperial Sounds Correct
Mine did Not have the cap lifter or the serrations.

The serrations were probably meant as a fish scaling tool.
