I don't think I've seen one of those, only the rectangular lobster tie clips, of which I have a few.Another 1960's crown logo Craftsman " tie clip " knife made by imperial.

I scored my first on Ebay a few years ago but sadly I lost it in December of 2020 the day I took my best friends remains to the vet to be sent off for cremation.
I really loved the knife, imperial did quite a good job on these all things considered.
They may be tiny, but they're a real functional knife, my last had great W&T and they take a great edge like any carbon steel imperial.

I've searched quite a bit and turned up a kind of ugly gold tone version with a hologram Craftsman logo, but no other versions.I don't think I've seen one of those, only the rectangular lobster tie clips, of which I have a few.
Sorry, I meant I've never seen that shape of knife with a clip on it.I've searched quite a bit and turned up a kind of ugly gold tone version with a hologram Craftsman logo, but no other versions.
Theres a bigger one with a little bail on the end, but I assume that one's a watch fob and not a tie clip.
Since the blades were already being made for their little keychain knife, maybe it wasn't a hard to make a tie clip version of it exclusively for Craftsman ?
I understood you, I suppose I was just droning on a bit about the tiny version I have coming.Sorry, I meant I've never seen that shape of knife with a clip on it.
Your mention of "bail" reminded me I was mistaken.

Nice, I have one just like it. You will really like it.Lucky enough to get this for a decent price on auction. Don't know much about the black box Winchester knives. Know that they were produced by Queen and are regarded as good quality knives. I think I will like the pattern.
