Help Identifying a knife
My grandpa gave me a bunch of old knives and this one has no marks other than "Made In U.S.A." I've searched but can't find anything like it. Anyone on here know who makes it?

"Made in U.S.A." usually means CAMILLUS made for Sears & Roebuck.

Re: Help Identifying a knife
As T.J. said, 'Made In USA' was a tang stamp used on knives made by Camillus for Sears & Roebuck from 1924 to 1965. With the saber ground blades and Celluloid handles, yours appears to have been made before 1940. I'll be corrected if I'm wrong about that.

Re: Help Identifying a knife
Definitely appears to be a pre WWII Camillus made cattle knife. Pretty unusual to see a knife with all of the blades saber ground. The only one I own (out of 900) is also a Camillus made knife, a "Hammer Forged" cattle knife made for Keen Kutter. Nice old knife.

Re: Help Identifying a knife
Thought it might be interesting to show this knife for comparison. As I said, I think that this knife is also a Camillus made knife for Keen Kutter. It's interesting in that all three of the blades are saber ground.
