Great picture, Todd.

Looks like somebody was having fun with poppers.

That's pretty cool, GT.

I don't recall seeing you carry that combination before JJ, but it's a winner for sure Two world-class Remingtons

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Wishing everyone a great weekend I'm off to the City of York for the day

An outstanding pairing of a Lamb and a Ram, both with spectacular covers!!! I hope you're have a great day in York!

Going through the bonding phase with this antique Rogers jig bone Stockman received today
Said to be a CAMILLUS knife made for SEARS 1927/1940 ... but I can't prove it ...
The CRAFTSMAN STA-SHARP blade etch, if it ever had one, is completely gone
Tang stamp only says, "HIGH CARBON STEEL U.S.A."

This is a great example of an antique knife someone went WAY too far cleaning up
Blades are polished just enough to completely remove patina
Can't be 100% sure but dye may have been applied to the bone

Whomever made this knife, and I believe it was made in the USA, likely made it for a large retailer
So Sears sounds like a good possibility. Sears was all about promoting themselves but seldom reciprocated with tool suppliers
Thus, no cutlery company identified on the tang. After all, "Why buy a Sears knife when you can buy a Camillus?" ... I guess

Regardless, all I wanted was a user antique knife in good shape and this one is all that
Good walk 'n talk, blades tight, no wobble. All I need to do is put good edges on the blades ... and use it

Pretty awesome. After carrying and using it a few weeks it’ll look just like it’s supposed to.

It’s growing on me. May still send it back in hopes of it returning better. I have a couple others to go as well so can hitch a ride free.

It has nice full blades, nicely threaded bolsters, fine bone color, bone mated to bolsters nice and tight, and says U.S.A. - looks like a great knife to own and /or use brother Jim.
I only have a few Camillus knives and this one looks like to me that Camillus was likely the maker. My opinion is one.

It is unquestionably Camillus for Sears.

Cal's opinion is likely spot on.

Quite the dye job on that sow belly !
What color did they call that ?
I don’t think you could have color coordinated any better if you had tried.

Thank you , sir !!! ... it's definitely a tight, well built, solid knife ... carried but probably lightly used and long stored

You have great knives Jon with even better stories.

Thanks Todd. These slip joints just offer so many possibilities for personality and ability to be special.
