Identifying unmarked sprial punch knife
This was my grandpa's old pocket knife I found buried away in his painting supplies probably used to open tubes and scrape the canvas. I'm trying to find out what brand or model it is but I can't find any brand markings, it has a pretty worn-down secondary blade and a punch with the words "Spiral Punch" engraved on it. The main knife is missing but the base of the blade is still there and just has "HIGH CARBON USA" engraved. The closed length on this knife is 3 11/16", and the punch length is 1 5/8" from the bolster, I can't place the length for either of the blades unfortunately as they're either missing or shaved down. I can't seem to place this knife with the missing blade and the unique shield with no remaining marks. Any help identifying/dating it would be amazing! Photos are included below!

Most likely a Sears Roebuck knife, made for them Camillus. The spiral punch is indicative of Camillus. The markings it has are all that were used.
