John Wayne’s personally-owned and -used vintage circa 1973 Imperial ‘Diamond Edge’ (858 DE) two-blade pocket knife, measuring 4″ closed and 7″ open. In very good to fine condition, with some light scuffs to handle, and various marks and soiling to blades.
Accompanied by a handwritten letter of provenance from Wayne’s granddaughter, Anita LaCava Swift, who states: “This is a Diamond Edge 858DE which was taken from my grandfather’s (John Wayne) desk by his eldest daughter Toni Wayne LaCava (my mother). He loved to collect pocket knives and when he died there were many in his desk drawers!”
