Re: High Carbon Steel
I had one just like it and was told it was made by Camillus. Plus I think it looks like a Camillus made knife. But I am not an expert.

Re: High Carbon Steel
Looks like Camillus to me. Plus the spiral punch usually says Camillus, although I think Utica did make some spiral punches too. Be interested to see what the Camillus experts say.

Re: High Carbon Steel
I’ve always been told they were Camillus. Regardless, it’s a beauty.

Re: High Carbon Steel
I have a couple of them. One has the propeller shield and the other a badge type shield. I was always under the impression they were made by Camillus. The grooved bolster is usually the giveaway.

Re: High Carbon Steel
Thanks so much for your comments on the knife.
It seems like some where in this forum I read that Camillus was the maker of that stamp.
I have two now. They are a pretty neat knife.
With two kids I probably don't need any more.

Re: High Carbon Steel
Definitely Camillus and made for Sears. Likely had a "Sta-Sharp" etch which is top of the line Sears branding and high quality. The 5 blade Cattle is a great find, and you have 2 ! I have never seen an unused one. The Sears sold knives "Craftsman" (includes Sta-Sharp) seem to have always been used often heavily. I think because most of their customers buy Craftsman tools were in fact crafts men who used tools daily.
The High Carbon Steel Sta-Sharp knives make for great collecting.
I recently was outbid for a 5 blade cattle. Bottom fishers only win when other fishers are napping.

Re: High Carbon Steel
Here is another one. It is available.
Re: High Carbon Steel
Thank you, Roland.
That is a beauty, Cal, thanks for showing it.
It looks like it's in better shape than my two. Someone should snap that up.

Jerry, sorry I didn't get back here sooner.
Thanks for the Kastor list.
Is that your 72?

Re: High Carbon Steel
Joe, it is my knife. The handle material is brittle and has some cracks but other than that, it's a dandy.
