What a fine stag folder. Would you happen to have the dimensions?A Cargill stamped folder. Notice the blade etching. There's a few Cripple Creek folders with this etching and the Cripple Creek tang stamp.
They're like hens teeth.

Not sure when this particular blade etching came in, but Cargill was using it in 1983. That would explain the Cripple Creek tang stamps. This is really a good one!A Cargill stamped folder.

Which now means the sole missing piece of the "known" Chief Anderson knives is the green handle toothpick!
I have a couple different ones with those stamps, I'll see if I can dig them out..
Interesting to note that both the Mohawk and the Oak Leaf are noted on Voyles has having extremely stiff springs making it difficult to operate the unlocking of the blade. I've seen several of each of these two knives, all with that same difficulty. Great knives, nonetheless. On the other hand, all the arrowheads have been very nice to operate. This one just happens to be a bit nicer than most! Really great engraving! Nice post, Rookie!
The Chief Anderson knives are a 15 knife collection of mostly 10 made of each knife. There are 2 patterns of 20 pieces. If you go looking thru the history books for Chief Anderson
you won't find squat. A man by the name of Frank Phelps was a good friend of Cargill and commissioned him to produce the Chief Anderson knives.
Frank was known to his friends as "Chief" and he lived in Andersonville. That's where the name came from. Frank also supplied some of the scale material
which is on the large banana trappers, coke bottle, toothpick and the saddlehorn. Frank Phelps had friends who worked for Queen and KABAR
and got the material from one of them. KABAR used it on Limited Edition
trapper with a dogs head shield. View attachment 1147658
There are 13 knives in the catalog page plus two that are not. A total of 15 knives.

This is knife number 14. A 2 blade trapper. The one in the catalog is a single blade with a spear point blade.
Knife number 15 is the White Bone Coke Bottle in the next post.
Found the following picture of the large laminate coke Chief Anderson on the AAPK site. I believe that makes 15! Would be nice if I could get it onto page three with the rest.Below are 14 images of the 15 Chief Anderson Knives.
To date, we are still missing the large Coke Bottle that is in the catalog above.
This White Bone Coke Bottle below is the 15th Chief Anderson.
Regarding the knife below, there is a typo in the 1985 Smoke Signals that lists this knife as 1 of 10.
Below is possibly a prototype for the single blade muskrat Chief Anderson knife.
The greenbone toothpick.
