This model of clasp-knife is originally by US company Case And Sons Cutlery Co., made during WW2, and used both by the US and Canadian military as a standard issue knife and rigging tool throughout the war. Post-WW2, the Canadian subsidiary of Case & Sons continued production of the knife until 1949 for the Canadian military in a factory in Pictou, Nova Scotia. The knife was carried by Canadians in the Korean War.
