My Dad got 2 of these as prizes for some fundraising event his elementary school did in the late 70's or early 80's. What a time to be a kid... He later gave me one as my first pocket knife when I was all of about 5 years old. Same deal for my little sister. Then I got my first .22 rifle at 6! From one childhood to the next, those Kamp King knives are very familiar and special to me. I'm 24 now, and I'll never part with that knife or that rifle. They helped to make my boyhood years magical. Excellent work!

@357magdad 10 ай бұрын

That's a great story! You'll have to pass the pocket knife and the rifle down to the next generation.

Looks like new. My dad always carried a pocket knife with him. He had the exact same one. Hes gone 41 years and I have it as a keep-sake in my desk draw. The main blade is slightly worn down because he always sharpened it and gave it a lot of use. Thanks for fond memories.

Those old Imperial knives were inexpensive, but not cheap! The steel blades are a pleasure to sharpen!

@scroungasworkshop4663 2 жыл бұрын

You see, that’s the difference between us restorers and mere mortals. We see a knife like that as a challenge where as most people would take one look and throw it away. I don’t mind the pitting, it helps show it’s age and gives it some character. That $3 tool box still just keeps on giving. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

I used to have the same Kamp King knife. I got it in an auto parts store for a buck and used it for years. It was made int the style of a classic boy scout knife. If a guy can enjoy owning and using a $1000 knife, more power to him, but I get more fun finding good value.

I have this exact same pocket knife. My father bought it for me at a J.C. Penny bargain store in Villa Park, IL back in the early 1970s. I remember that day well because my dad was uncomfortable buying me a knife especially a real expensive one (it cost $1.00). I still have the knife and occasionally pull it out and admire the quality workmanship that went into the knife. lol. Funny, when I got that knife I thought it was the coolest thing I ever had. Goes to show you, I really did not have very much.

357magdad, Another great restoration my friend! You're one of the 1st restoration guys I've seen on here, who brought a Pocket Knife back to looking that good without totally disassembling it! What I mean is, I've seen others on here, attempt to restore pocket knives without disassembling them, but when all was said and done, their knives didn't end up with much luster. In fact, a few of them, didn't even get all the dirt off of their knives!! Again, great job, bud! Ron Abilene, TX.

Nicely done! Now, I would have done one upgrade, On one end is the flat edge screwdriver/bottle opener. The other end is a can opener. And THAT is where I would have done an upgrade with a fine tooth rat tail file and sharpen that puppy! Many of the cheapo camp knives have those and I have yet to see one sharpened to actually open a can. Even the old cub scout knives had a non sharpened can opener. But, the boy scout knife can opener was sharpened, a bit. But, you did an awesome job brining that knife back to life! Thank you!

nice job. I still have my Kamp King from my Boy Scout days in the mid sixties. I grew up in Providence RI and am very familiar with the Imperial Knife Co. on many levels.

The vintage Imperial knives have carbon steel blades that are a pleasure to sharpen!
