Another Mystery Knife

[SteelMyHeart85420]

Crimped liner back, fluted bolsters, that clip point blades' lines running the length of it reminds me of an Old Hickory kitchen knife....that's about all I see, other than "Made In USA". What am I missing, or is this one from The Dead Zone?

...I've never seen those straight-line marks on anything other than an "old hickory"......that's really interesting!!.......hope someone can identify it!!.............. .......................

Ooh, I forgot to mention really nice swedges on all 4 blades, too...this was a well made knife, it seems

Goins has four lisings under the "MADE IN USA". All four were used by Sears & Roebuck.

1- c1924-1965.

2-c1945-1958. "Kingston" etched on the blade. This knife made by Ulster.

3- c1924-1941. "Sta-Sharp Sportsman " etched on the blade. This knife made by Camillus.

4- 1941-1960. "Craftsman Forged Steel "is etched on the blade. Camillus, Schade and Ulster all made knive for Sears using this stamp.

I am going to vote for door#3(Camillus).The stamping is a bit unusual as most of the ones I have encountered usually have the words "high carbon steel" above the made in USA stamp. The jimping on the liners I have noticed on a lot of Camillus knives. Th etching on the master blades usually included the model numbar as well and was readily worn away. The jigging on the scales reminds me of both Camillus and early Imperial.Just my opinion folks.

Much appreciated info, thanks everyone....I've never worked with antler (new scales), how difficult is it to work?
