Who made this camp knife

[silenthunterstudios]

I picked up a camp knife marked Made in USA over the Eastern weekend. Very worn bone scales, missing the can opener blade. Not bad for ten bucks, as the blades have good walk and talk, and other than the missing can opener blade and what look like dings and gouges in the edge, it's in great shape.

Any ideas who made this?

Love that Bone my friend...I think its Camillus, I recently put up a Thread, which has the first knife marked as yours..

Thank you Duncan! I was thinking Imperial or Camillus. Hoping you are on the mend and doing well. Trust me, don't push yourself too hard, you'll be exhausted before you know it. Take it easy, but not too easy .

First nice knife, second it's a Kastor/ Camillus made for Sears Roebuck & Company, either 1924-41 or 1941-60.
It's amazing how many brands Adolph Kastor had his hands in.
Here is a cool PDF of Kastor family brands.

Mine is also missing 2 parts of the 3 piece can opener.
