Historical Note:
Lipic USA was a St. Louis-based company known for its high-end pens, writing tools, and promotional goods. During the mid-20th century, they offered branded knives as part of their advertising merchandise, often contracting with U.S. knife makers. These pocket knives are now collectibles with a retro flair.
Collector’s Note:
Pearl-handled knives were once popular gifts, often included with pens or used for promotions. This Lipic knife is a stylish example of that trend — a budget-friendly gem with a little mid-century Americana charm.
Disclaimer:
All knives in this shop are vintage or pre-owned unless stated otherwise. While many are in excellent condition, they may show normal signs of age or handling such as scuffs, blemishes, or blade wear. I try to document condition as accurately as possible in both the description and photos. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
