Does Anyone know when the tang stamp went from SEARS/USA to CRAFTSMAN/USA on these knives. Ihave a very nice stockman that was passed down to me in a collection-just curious about it. Also maybe what company, or companies made those knives. Ihave looked at a couple books, and found nothing on them.

they have used craftsman since about 1926. suppliers included schrade, camillus, ulster, and maybe others. they used sears roebuck in the early days. sears-usa is a more recent stamp, early 90s? i'm sure more and better info is available.

I think Sears has used a number of different and stamps besides Craftsman. If I recall correctly, they used the name Wilbert around 1900. You might ask LT in the Knife Lore forum.

Interesting information, just picked up a Craftsman double blade folder, has a Flying Eagle with Script on the Shield and on on of the Tangs on one blade"A.C.A. Edge" etched on the blade....
