Hey guys so I recently came across this little gem. I found this a few years ago and just stumbled across it cleaning out a kitchen junk drawer. Any idea what I may have? All it says is Made In USA on one blade. Nothing else lol. Good luck and thanks for reading or chipping in

I'm going to go with Camillus ( Kastor/Camillus )
What's the size I think I have the same knife if it's 2 3/4"

mine was made for Husky by Camillus #48 pattern

It's pretty close but I notice a few differences. Number of pins and the end of the nail pull on yours runs right into the clip mine stops well short. That's That's a beauty though stitch. I love small traditionals
 
I just find it odd that it has no make on it or any stamp other than made in usa. I mean it's sloppy as it gets and has major blade play to the point I probably wouldn't use it but I've never found out what it is

That jigged bone looks kinda Ka-Baresque to me, a bit like some muskrats I've seen.

I originally thought mine was a KaBar put after doing the leg work I discovered it was a Camillus

I noticed the pins also, different production dates the umbrella of Kastor/Camillus, Albert Baer & Imperial Knife Associate companies/ Imperial Schrade Corporation/ many knives that Kastor/Camillus made for Sears and Roebuck had only the Made In USA stamp, I have a few, the one I have pictured has only the Made in USA stamp and a faded Husky etch, funny it turned up well in the picture normally need to look from the side to see it, I'm guessing yours is early 60's, mine mid 60's

Checkout line 215-218

It looks to be made by Camillus - it resemble Kabar because for many years starting in the 70's, Camillus made Kabar's traditional pocket knives on contract.
