The blade is engraved in the center with "Valley Forge" and the tang mark is 'Parker Cutlery' on one side and 'Surgical Steel Japan' on the other side.
- The knife is 4" in length closed, 6" in length opened (1 1/2" blade length)
** Parker Cutlery was established in the late 1960's by James Parker (who also owned W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery up until about 1990) - The company joined with Frost Cutlery in 1976 and tang marks were changed to Parker-Frost from 1976-1978 and then Parker with the Eagle emblem brand thereafter.
