I have an unused almost mint Case 2 bladed 92 pattern knife just like your knife Old hunter. Nice knife.
Blue, I've got a 3 bladed stockman just like the Boker stockman on the far right in your picture of Boker stockman knives. The only difference is mine has a John Primble tang stamp and it's shield has no markings of any kind on it. They are the exact same knives with different names stamped on them. Both Boker made I'd guess.

Snagged this one in a lot off ebay, was covered in a protective coating of rust.
Never heard of the brand before, but it looks alot like a Camillus Muskrat I have.

Jammer - I just got a Power Kraft 84-11 in the mail today. Power Kraft was Montgomery Wards brand name. I'll get pictures later but for now, this one looks like a Camillus 72. I guess it could be made by Utica but I'll let y'all decide when I post pictures tomorrow.

My Johnnie Fain auction knives came in a couple of days ago. This Tidioute Beavertail is a big handful of knife, but slim enough to fit in a pocket. The snap closing sounds like a beaver tail slapping the water. I'll be careful to keep fingers out of the way.
After picking up a full size Texas Jack from ORVET's Fain auction last week, I decided I needed a smaller Texas Jack to pair with it. I was in the lumberyard this morning, saw their display of Case knives and decided to take a look. They had a #22087 SS, Working Medium Jack with jet-black synthetic handles in the display window so I picked it up; smooth finish, don't know the difference in delrin and synthetic, but it feels softer to me than jigged delrin feels.

Found this one at the flea market today.
EDIT
Have not been able to find much info on this knife. Goins' dosen't list this tang stamp. In a book by Lavona Ferguson (1978) I found a picture and a number (no marking reverse tang) 033750. Anyone have any more info?
MDH.....you musta been a good boy, That knife is the bomb dude.
I found this CHAPMAN HAND FORGED at the bottom of a pile I scored from eBay. It was in some knasty shape.....so I sanded the blades a little so I could put it in my knife sheath and carry it for a while.

Yeah, I posted it in one of the many Christmas threads. Here it is again. Main blade looks tipped in the picture but it's not, it's just blunt. In hand, the patina looks to me like it may be forced. I've never seen a patina that even up into the pivot joint. Sure looks like a Camillus #72 to me. What say you??

Definitely looks like a #72 to me, I'll have to go dig mine out, but I'd say Camillus for sure.

A SFO for Montgomery Wards.
Nice 72 Jerry.
I have been collecting different brands of 72s for a comparison study.
I have about 5 brands so far.
I will have to look for a PowrCraft and a Craftsman.
