Has anyone compiled a list of the Sears Old Crafty knife models that are lookalikes of Old Timer models?

I'm interested in adding some of these to the collection, but really have no idea how many there might be.

Another thing, every time I search eBay for some nice examples there are none for sale. But if I use the Completed Items search, I find buckets of them that I just missed. :grumpy:

:D
 
I keep seeing a different Old Crafty / Old Timer models on eBay, just wondered how large the collection target is.

Most of the Craftsman knives aren't Old Timer lookalikes; many are even from companies other than Schrade.
 
Many of the Old Crafty knives were made for Sears by Camillus. Some were made by Schrade.
 
I've come up with these three Old Crafty models that are Old Timer twins. Not sure which Old Crafty matches to which Old Timer at this point.

Bob when you search eBay just look for the tab that says "save this search" then you can set it to email you whenever one comes up. Thats how I found my J.C.Higgins Ulster gaff knife...of course it did take about five years to find that one.
 
Posting links to live auctions is not allowed on this subforum. Furthermore, the listing is not for a Schrade OR an OLD CRAFTY.

Thank you for those kind words, Toungeriver. I am new to the site, did not realize such rules were in place, and was merely trying to be helpful. I realize the knife is not an Old Crafty; however, this Sears knife is identical to their Old Crafty models. It also shows a strikingly similar resemblance to the Schrade-made knives from that time period. I wasn't condoning the idea that this was exactly that knife, just thought these forums were welcome and open to suggestions/discussion. Sorry for my improper behavior; I hope I don't lose member points because that would really leave a sour taste in my mouth (insert snark here).
