Awesome knives. I recently picked up a vintage used Craftsman 95231 which is identical to the 2nd from top pic, wood scales with brass bolsters. Someone said they though it may be Camillus made, so I guess they were correct.

I really like the shape of the blade, and the feel of the knife in general. Slim and small in the pocket, and a nice bevel on the scale corners. Thx for sharing.

Mine doesn't snap shut very strongly. I'd like to get a stronger spring someday.

JT .... anyone have a general idea of the age of this?

i'll bet that SMKW Yello-Jaket was hard to find, Vit. You have an excellent collection of those little lockbacks.

I don't have any of this pattern, but I like it. I do have a 902, but that's a Promaster. I prefer something about this size in my watch pocket. The Santa Fe Stone Works models are beautiful.
