Just in a Schrade Walden built 861 stockman with Craftsman 9514 branding. Most of the Craftsman 9514 model knives were the square bolstered 881 pattern, but this is the slenderino 4" version. If anyone knows when these were made, please chime in! I looked through a decade of Sears catalogs from 1961-'71 and could not find this knife.
Cool knife Jeff. I have seen a few of those floating around. Love that craftsman branding, and the crocus finish carried over from the old schrade days.
Best guess is early 60’s to 1973. The 1961 catalog still lists 861’s with bone handles but in 1962 the catalog lists staglon.
