A friend sent me some pictures of a very interesting Craftsman knife. Note it has shields on both sides. It is a very cool lock blade, 3 3/4" closed. Anyone have any thoughts on the maker and the age? I have ideas about the maker, but don't want to influence anyone. Anyone recognize the pattern? What would you call this pattern? I love the big round bottom bolster, and the whole knife for that matter. That blades looks like a cutter! I'll be huntin for one now.

Got this one in a catalog, Codger?
 
:cool:Lookey like a Cammy Schradey cross to me!?;) "MY GUESS" I have seen the dual shields on several Craftsmen knives. Thanks for showing!
 
Camillus made quite a range of LBs, but i don't know them well enough to make a positive ID. does not seem like a Schrade to me. roland
 
Phil Gibbs I.D.'d it as a Camillus Craftsman, so I'd tend to take that to the bank!
 
I figured Phil Gibbs or Codger would be the best source for an answer. Thanks. I've looked around, but my Camillus references are thin, and could not find that pattern in another handle material. It would look good as an old Ebony knife with a bowtie or propellor shield.
 
My computer power supply died back on the 3rd, so I have been on a backup computer sans my files. I just got mine back up today though. While I do have this #95225 knife listed in my Craftsman files as a Camillus, I don't have specifics as to the production dates. And as I am still working forward from the 1940's, I haven't acquired and original Sears catalogs form the time period when this knife would have been offered (mid to late 1980's - early 1990's is my guess).

If anyone who has old Sears catalogs laying around, or finds them at flea markets or yard sales and wish to send me high quality scans, it would be greatly appreciated. At three catalogs a year for fifty or more years, you can see how it would get quickly expensive for me to assemble a physical library of them. Some from the 1940's I've paid as much as $20 or more apiece for.
