Here is a nice Craftsman stockman I got a few weeks ago.
This is a Kent Sportsman Knife made for Woolworths Stores, circa 1930s.
It is the only one I have seen without the Kent name on the knife.
It may have been an early one with a Kent blade etch which is no longer visible.
With orginial sheath-

Those are both really nice Dale!
I have never seen the early Sportsman fixed blade before.

I just got this and I'm not sure if it's Camillus made or Schrade. Either way it's in fantastic shape, about 3.7/8" long. Very good snap etc
I can see evidence of pins on both ends[barely]
If anybody can me tell if it's a Camillus or Schrade?
Thanks, Producer.

I have been searching for this topic, but couldn't remember the title.
Think I will make it a sticky for a while.
Here is a nice A. W. Wadsworth & Sons Germany I picked up recently. The rear tang of the master blade is stamped XLNT.
According to the Kastor List it was made circa 1905-1936.
It is a single spring penknife, 2-3/4" in length with great snap on both blades. I think it is tortoise shell celluloid and not real tortoise, but I have not been able to get the typical smell of celluloid when doing the rub test, but I still think it is celluloid. It is has remarkably full blades and is excellent condition for such an old one.

It looks a lot like one of my Camillus fixed blades too.
They may very well be the same pattern, or at least very close.
I will have to take a pic of the Kent & the Camillus side by side.

WOW! I love the congress with the screwdriver/wire stripper blade and a punch!
I have never seen the blade combination in that knife in a congress, maybe in a scout/camper but not a congress.
I like the unique shape oh the screwdriver blade also.
Cool knife, and I usually don't like a congress.

Dale, I have a couple 6 blade congress knives I've posted on AAPK before, and I believe the odd blade is a box opener with a nail puller for pulling the nail from a cigar box. The blade on mine is too thin to turn a screw, and I collect box openers besides knives, and that blade closely resembles some of my box openers. ___Dave

These are all knives made by Adolph Kastor and his brothers. They started in 1876 making knives which include the posted knives and Camillus knives. They had dozens of brands. TJ posted a link to the list of them at the beginning of this thread. Here is is

I'm the one off topic Carmillus. Probably the Morleys don't go here. Here is a Dunlap 1920- 1930s to get back on topic.

Question to experts - what time period and what patterns Camillus made knives for Case?
Re: The Other Brands

Vit,
I think that Camillus (and also Utica) did make some contract knives for Case after WWII, however, in order to get more accurate information I would suggest that you post your question in the Case forum. I believe that knifeaholic would be able to supply particulars. The answer may be in his book, however, I don't have it handy at the moment.

There is a thread in one of our forums where knifeaholic listed the Case patterns that were contacted to Camillus but I haven't found it yet. Sill looking.
Collecting Case Knives is the books name.
