Imperial knife: traditionals for friendly prices
Imperial Cutlery has been producing great knives for incredible prices for over 100 years. Great as a slipjoint for areas where you are not allowed to carry a locking knife, or for on the side to accompany your normal EDC pocket knife. Imperial is known for using interesting composite materials. 'Cracked ice' and 'Black Swirl', for instance. Relatively affordable acrylic, but with a luxurious look and feel. That is what makes these knives so great.
Why choose an Imperial knife
This brand is known for its excellent price-quality ratio. You purchase a great Imperial knife for a friendly price. This does mean, however, that you sometimes have to accept the occasional scratch or imperfection in the finish. The prices are amazing, the quality is fair. You get more than what you pay for.
Imperial product types
Schrade Imperial knives are traditional pocket knives, like the Stockman with three blades, or the Trapper with two blades. A true American classic, the Jackmaster Barlow has the well-known clip point blade with the sloping tip.
