garddogg,

Here's a photo of my Frontier All Americans manufactured by Imperial. Looks like a match to me

Keith nailed it!
The All American series was introduced in 1983.
They were probably made by Schrade or Camillus (my best guess). They were introduced after the Frontier Series by Imperial; some of which were made by Schrade, some by Camillus and others were made by the Imperial plant in Providence. The Frontier series was introduced circa 1976 with some models being made until 1985.
As you can see on this flyer they were distributed by Schrade.

Accept for the scales the AA-51 is a match Thanx Keith and Orvet much appreciated Is there a way to narrow it down between Schrade or Camillus?In this pic she sits with a Craftsman another very well made knife.

dogg -- Since the look alikes were made by Imperial and Imperial was tied to Schrade, don't you think your Craftsman has a pretty high percentage of being made by Schrade or maybe even Imperial?
