WW2 US 2 Blade Scout Folding Knife Maker Empire

The WW2 US 2 Blade Scout Folding Knife by Empire is a military-issue pocketknife produced during the Second World War. Manufactured by the Empire Knife Company, this model was commonly distributed to American servicemen as part of personal equipment kits. The knife features a sturdy design with two functional blades: a primary spear-point blade and a secondary pen blade, both housed in a compact, foldable frame. The handle is constructed from durable materials typical of the period, often featuring metal bolsters and textured grip panels for secure handling. Markings on the knife typically include the maker’s stamp, in this case, “Empire,” identifying its origin. These knives were valued for their versatility and practicality, suitable for a range of field tasks including cutting, opening cans, and general utility functions. Wartime scout knives like this example reflect the standard issue gear that supported U.S. troops in various theaters of operation during World War II.
