You got me on this one, Charles.  I believe that Jan has one like it.

But if you got it for a buck, you did good.  There one on Etsy, as a necklace, going for $32.00.

Thanks again, JJ.  I looked at the one on Etsy.  It definitely is the same knife.  It showed me something on mine that I didn't know was there.  I had to look with a magnifying glass to find it.  There is a marking "tasty" on the knife.  I would never have seen it if I hadn't known it was there and started looking for it.  The knife and the markings are so small they are hard to find, let alone read.

It might be a lockback but its also a peanut....

Just for history sake, I am  not aware of any knife company named Rich, although from about 1857-1956 there was a knife company called Rich-Con USA. They were located in Kansas City, MO It really stood for Richards & Conover Hardware

This knife is not connected to those folks but I did think the name was interesting.

I think they were made for the Tasty Foods Company. But I do not know of a maker named Rich.  Has anyone else seen them?

That sure would explain that Tasty logo there Jan, I was wondering about that too.
