Some Camillus brands:( just as an aside:) Camco, Mumbly Peg, Sword, Fairmount, Syracuse, Clover, Corning, Farragut, Silver Sword, Stainless Cut. Co., Stream-Line, and probably more. Additionally, Camillus jobbed knives for many of the smaller brands and the major hardware outlets like Sears, HSB, Shapleigh, dime-stores, and many more.
As for the game here, I like to post a Camillus-made knife with it's own mark and hope for the specific answer. It's more fun that way. JMHO
O'.
That is fine with me. what is the answer on this one? I consider Sword Brand synonymous with Camillus, a little different than Syracuse et al.

Camco , but Sword Brand was their premium line I believe.?
I don't know blades ( except some farmers jacks) and punches , I usually see a shield or bone or look. I've noticed that is a typical Camillus shield , although some others used it.
Sword brand. This is the one. Ill post close ups of the tang when i get home. It's stamped both sides. Btw thanks for posting the info on Bridge. I didn't know much about that one, another recent acquisition.

You're welcome . The "Knife Album is a good pictorial on several manufacturers , but extensive for Shapleigh.
I had this post typed up a day ago and thought it was posted , I don't know what happened.
Maybe there's a double post out there in the twilight zone.
American and over a hundred years old I am told.

You or the knife?
I honestly don't have an educated guess, but i love the rectangle shield with the crimped bolsters. Dripping with style.

Thanks, I think
. I've got about 28 more years, but with the direction this world is going, I'm sometimes glad to be old.
It's called a bar shield and I believe initially it was used not only for decoration, but was functional for monogramming the knife.
I think it's a simple classic and for some reason it looks good with all the curves on a farmers jack.
Not Schrade. "Not a big name "

As per Levine, you can date that c.1916-1919 when they stopped their German imports during WWI. I wonder who actually made it. There's some old posts on AAPK that mention Schatt and Morgan and a person named David Clark as a good source. (Before my time here.). Your scratch-out left enough of the shape to let me guess the mark. That tight circle isn't found on too many brands. She's a beauty, and rare. You sure do have 'em!
I'll get one up soon. O'.

I was quoting you on yourCrown post .
I'm pretty sure Utica made it, it's got their signature shield and a lot more of evidence I see on other Utica's .

U-got-it! an old, half-moon Utica. Hard to know if the marks, Kutmaster and Utica overlapped after 1937? Maybe someone here knows. J.O'.
