Imperial The Imperial Knife Company was established in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1916 by Felix and Michael Mirando, immigrants from the blacksmithing town of Frosolone, Italy, and managed by Domenic Fazzano, as a manufacturer of commercial value-priced folding pocket knives. In 1941, Albert M. Baer purchased the Ulster Knife Company (which was founded in Ellenville, New York, in the 1870s) and merged it with the Imperial Knife Company and designated this new business as the Imperial Knife Associated Companies, to produce knives for the military.
