I sometimes carry this Sears Craftsman SS ACA Edge Pen, #95201. Probably made by Schrade or Camillus?

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
I don't see any visible pins, so I'm guessing Schrade. I have a Large Stockman pattern marked "CRAFTSMAN" over "USA" over "95235" that has visible pins, and is attributed to Camillus.OLDE CUTLER wrote:I sometimes carry this Sears Craftsman SS ACA Edge Pen, #95201.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Thanks for your info. I have 2 other Craftsman knives, a 95206 folding lockblade much like the Schrade/Uncle Henry type, and a camper/scout model 9555, which is also very Schrade like.cody6268 wrote:I don't see any visible pins, so I'm guessing Schrade.

I picked up this Cattaraugus large pen at a gunshow over the weekend. It is a #22586, with dark wood handles, either rosewood or ebony. And that shield is "the bomb".

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
You sure picked up a nice one Olde Cutler. Looks to be in great condition. Here is one I just got. R6483, with a good etch.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
That Remington is in really nice shape, almost like new. I don't very often see an etch that nice on an old Remington.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
I have a couple Remington's with an etch. The pen knives for me have been few and far between with an etch. Some I think never had one and others just have had to much use. Thanks for the compliment.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
This is a Case Tested XX 6276 1/2. The 3 blade example of the 76 pattern is a split backspring whittler and I have seen the 2 blade version called a half-whittler, but I think it is more correctly identified as a pen knife. I'm looking for 6276 1/2 with a long pull.

Here's one I had. H Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery 1907-1914. Dimitri has it now.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
I love small knives much more than large. My two favorites from my meager collection are a Case 9201 "Senators Knife" from 1965-1969 and a Case 06263 "Eisenhower" from 1980.

There are a few pens lying around my nest. Here's a Colonial, a Case, a Robeson and another Case.
