Craftsman?

[JK Knives]

I had a day off work, so I decided to go to some out of the way antique and resale shops. I found (and bought) a knife that is a twin to my Imperial Frontiersman 4432. This one has the same white handles, but is marked Craftsman 1927 on the blade, with a Craftsman shield on the handle. The blade is marked :
Craftsman
USA
95044

I assume this one was made for Sears by Imperial? Any help would be appreciated. The knife looks to have never been sharpened, with light pitting on one blade. I gave $8 for it.

A full cross reference for Schrade/Craftsman is yet to surface if one has indeed ever been compiled. Here is an excerpt from an earlier post where we are given a few of the numbers:

........ Now in reference to Sears and Craftman. Here is a small hint. 21627-166, 21624-165,21621-141SR,21631-25OT,21628-166P,21635-15OT,21636-148STC,21637-706,21638-208,21639-108L,21641-141BH,21642-H15,21602-48X,21656-125L,21649-138GSB,21648-148S,21658-147S,21651,141BH,21672-H15,21686-171, 21662-222F. 9507-180, 9540-10OT,9541-50,9560-29,9549-114,9470-98,9472-55,9473-89,9556-718RB,9558-946 RB, 9545-108OT,9546-34OT,9547-8OT,9554-804,9553-855RB,9552-825RB,9561-TL29 saw. Of course this was as of 1970..... LT

The knife you describe sounds like a 50th anniversary knife, from 1977. I have a bit more complete compilation somewhere, but darned if I can locate it just now!

Nice one Stomper!
I picked up a Sears 94515 (it doesn't have the Craftsman name on it) fairly cheap, ($13 with shipping) on ebay. It is exactly the same as the 2 new Frontier 4515 that I got at a hardware store last weekend for $31.49 each.
