Hello Shraders,
I have a Kamp King which is about 20 years old. I don't recall where I got it. It's a cheapie, likely I picked it up while on a camping trip and needed this style knife.
It's a classic camp knife design with a clip blade, a can opener, a bottle opener with screwdriver tip and an awl. The scales are black plastic and it has a belt loop.
The blade is carbon steel. I sharpened it once and it's darned near scary sharp and it has maintained that for many years.
I am wondering if it's made by Schrade. It is engraved "Imperial", "USA" (vertical, at the end of the two lines) and "PROV. RI"
Anyway,here is another vote for carbon steel. It has 1 black rust spot on the reverse of the clip blade.
