A little help identifying a "Swiss Style" USA made Imperial Camp/Ute:

Anyone know the model number of this knife.  It is very similar to the DE-555  made in Ireland. The differences:

1) it isn't a "Diamond Edge" series.

2) It has a hump back spay blade missing on the DE-555

3) angle punch instead of flat punch.

Handles are imitation wood grain Delrin.  Dates from the 1970s-Early 1980s. Tang  Imperial (Crown) / Providence R.I. /USA

Need to Identify:

Compared to Diamond Edge DE-555

I have the 2007 and 2008 limited editions.  They were CHRISTmas presents from my daughter.  You can see pictures of them in my photos.

I want to extend a gracious thank you to Ivars Day, Smiling-Knife, Jim Child, and Tobias Gibson. They have all provided me with information that has completed my Russian knife mystery. I now now what knid of knife it is, where and approximately when it was manufactured, and the approximate cost at time of manufacture. Symbols and script had to be decyphered to obtain most of this information. I have assembled pictures and all this information into file so I can print it out whenever I do educational presentation programs. Again, thanks so much to the great people and for all they've done. iKC ROCKS!!!!!

That's great info to have. This has to be the best site I've found for research and a great group of people with so much to share. Just hope I'm able to help out as well with my limited experience. Thanks to Smiling-Knife and Jim Child!!

Speaking of info, while doing research on Camp knives I ran across an nice little primer on the New York Knife Company, makers of the First Official Boy Scouts of America knives.  It is located at https://www.nysm.nysed.gov/research/anthropology/crsp/projects/ny_k...
