sactroop Posted September 23, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2017 IMHO, it is not one of the Government contract knives like those made between 1953-1957 by Camillus, Imperial, and Schrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Flick Posted September 23, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2017 I will agree with Sactroop on this one. Your blade is a civilian version of the Pilot Survival Knife. Its half guard reveals that. Otherwise, it is almost identical to the USGI version. Imperial sold these as 5" sheath knives for hunting, Boy Scouting and other outdoor activities.

sactroop Posted September 23, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 23, 2017 Schrade also made these close copies of their "pilots survival knife", for commercial sales. They often marketed them with a "H-15" stamped on the blade. The blade pattern has been around since before WW2 but also seems to be the most common blade type found on the various MK1's. If you go on eBay and search for schrade H-15 you'll see some that virtually match your Imperial. I don't know (yet) what stock number Imperial used on their version of the knife. Also made and sold for Sears and others. There's a Ted Williams version too. Pretty successful pattern, I know they were still selling them well into the 70's maybe longer.

fabnatcyr Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted September 24, 2017 Hello I was on the reflection of this model with respect to the school identical except for marking I did not find a table of the punches which allows to date the manufacture following a change of marking cordially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
