I picked up this Sears Craftsman stockman over the weekend. It is tang stamped with the Sears number 95235.

The 3 1/2" Dogleg looks like it could be an Ulster to me.

Nice knife Ken - I quite like an elegant tuxedo (actually gentleman's or ladies - though perhaps more associated with ladies) .. As an aside I believe Lakeside knives were made by Challenge Cut Co from my understanding...

Had no idea "we" acquired another Connecticut made knife.

Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
Thanks, it appears to be unused. Would I be correct in thinking it was made by Schrade using the hidden pin method because of the brass plated bolsters?LongBlade wrote:Sweet dog-leg Jtx ... Beautiful bone...Jtx wrote:Wards/Made In USA. About 3 1/2" closed. Very strong snap.

Dan, I have two Camillus made Wilberts. I'm trying to remember another knife that I saw which was not Napanoch and was a Wilbert. Wasn't too long ago.OLDE CUTLER wrote:Napanoch made some of them, and there were others too.wlf wrote:Who do y'all think made it?OLDE CUTLER wrote:This Wilbert Moose was sold in the Sears Roebuck catalog in 1908 for 74 cents plus 5 cents shipping.

Schrade began using the Swinden Key for attaching bolsters in early 1960's. Most of the knives in this thread are earlier than 1960.

Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
The Schrade-Swinden reference was to the Craftsman 95235 that I pictured above. It seems to me the brass plated bolsters would indicate this one was made that way.kootenay joe wrote:Schrade began using the Swinden Key for attaching bolsters in early 1960's.

Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
Ah, on previous page. The wood handles Sears stockman knives are relatively recent and made by Schrade or Camillus.

Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
I didn't know Wilbert was a Sears knife, I've had it for a couple years, just picked up the Wards a couple months ago. Not sure who the maker of either one is???

Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
Just picked up these 2 Craftsman. One is a Jr Stockman 9473 it just needs a little cleanup.
The other is a scout/ Camp knife. It has no numbers. It appears to be bone. The main Blade spring is a bit weak. I think I can clean this up for an EDC.
Do any of you Craftsman gurus have an estimate of date and who the manufacture might be. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

A Wards I picked up recently, I think made by Utica.

Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
John, that is a beautiful old cattle knife. It looks stout and well made. The lettering in the shield is interesting. Any ideas what it means?

Thanks Ralph, it is stout and well made, unfortunately I have no idea what the shield means.
Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
Picked up this Wards Muskrat, 3 7/8", really nice bone. Guess this would be an Improved Muskrat since it has a spey.
Re: Montgomery Wards & Sears, Roebuck & Co. Knives
John, I believe that is called a Hawbaker muskrat

My Montgomery Ward -- Power Craft. I thought they were overpriced when I bought the, but recent "asking price" is still overpriced !!
