What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[BrotherJim]

Really nice. Were these sears/craftsman made by case?

Thank You !!!

The little knife, a "Dogleg Jack" or "Peanut", looks like something Case might produce ... similar to same size as a Case Peanut ... except it wasn't produced by Case.
Of note, the main and pen blades are reversed, mark side to pile side, from the configuration that Case produces their Peanut in.
This Craftsman configuration allows for the pulls on both blades to be on the same side, as opposing sides like Case does.
The main blade also has a long pull which is seldom used by Case on the Peanut, but I do have a Case Select Peanut 1998 in blue bone with a main long pull.

Steve Pfeiffer, author of the book Collecting Case knives - Identification and Price Guide has been collecting, buying, and selling CASE and other brands of vintage and modern pocket knives since 1973.
He is who I purchased the Craftsman knife from (along with two others in differing patterns) and according to him, these pocket knives are from the 70's to 80's era and made for Sears on contract with Imperial/Schrade.
The blade etch on this little Craftsman Dogleg/Peanut features the date 1927, and according to my research and other folk's comments indicate this little knife was released in 1977 ...
The 50th anniversary of Sears Craftsman pocket knives.

Other vintage Craftsman knives were said to have been made by Camillus and in fact Camillus produced knives exclusively for Sears 1926/27 to 1940.
In the knife world there are some vintage Sears knives that are still debated as to whether produced by Camillus or others. But knife companies were also known to collaborate at times back then too.
As far as I know, Case never produced a knife or was involved with production of knives for Sears.

Thank you Greg !
The Puukko was gifted to me by @RayseM
He made the handle himself with birch bark and stag gathered in the woods around his place and he also made the leather sheath Additional cool touches are engravings on the knife and sheath as well as a bronze shackle that is part of the sheath evoking boating and sailing
A VERY special knife

Thanks for showing this and the telling the story behind the knife, Dan. The fact that he gathered the natural materials and then turned it into such a beautiful knife makes it all the more special. That handle is very handsome and looks extremely comfy to grip. The sheath, equally awesome! What a great gift from a fellow porch member.

The whiskey stink of rot has settled
in the garden, and a burst of fruit flies rises
when I touch the dying tomato plants.

Still, the claws of tiny yellow blossoms
flail in the air as I pull the vines up by the roots
and toss them in the compost.

It feels cruel. Something in me isn’t ready
to let go of summer so easily. To destroy
what I’ve carefully cultivated all these months.
Those pale flowers might still have time to fruit.

My great-grandmother sang with the girls of her village
as they pulled the flax. Songs so old
and so tied to the season that the very sound
seemed to turn the weather.

Nice knife
i feel for you I don't lik the end of growing season. Stay warm my friend, have never gone through a snowy winter, must be tough at times.

US influence for me today
Oh yeah the Swans won, by a point
AFL Grandfinal next week.

 

[cudgee]

Oh yeah the Swans won, by a point

Should have won by 10 goals. 6 goals up in the 3rd quarter then let them back in the game, they dodged a big bullet.

You did a fantastic job.

Thanks, John.

Great photo Bart, but wow, what a difference from your signature photos!

Thanks, Todd. I was just glad it wasn’t hot because there’s not a bit of shade out there.

Saw this picture in another thread and didn’t even realize it was bacon!
I especially like the greasy goodness left on the cover.

I wondered what that shine was on John’s knife and I didn’t notice the bacon either.

Yesterday I had the same model S&M knife with rosewood handles in the pocket. This morning I thought to myself, why not switch it out for the ebony version and do the Black Friday thing today. Simple enough.

I finally had a chance to get caught up. I carried my yellow Case stockman at work yesterday

and a large lamb with a small border collie at work today.

Exactly. Dry, but still a fun place for a tiny stroll in nature.
