Jerryd that's a dandy little sized knife there. It looks similar to a Case 087 just right for getting in to tight places. Does that list that you have that shows the Sears stamps like handforged and made in USA also tell whether Schrade or Ulster made a particular stamp?

Sorry. No.

Strictly Camillus. I got ya.

Mailman brought me a heads cover and something to fill my hand. Adog

These two came Monday.

Just opened that red, white and blue priority mail box and this dropped out.
A Case 6375 stockman with olive green smooth bone handles. 4 1/4" and a 125th anniversary model.
Love it!

Beautiful stag on that one, Adog.

Great looking knife. Who made it?

Ditto what bdev said. Think that's a Bulldog right?

Yes it's a Bulldog brand Calf Roper Trapper, lockback. It's 4 7/8"closed the bale unlocks the blade .

Very very cool.

I posted this one in the Case thread also, but thought I wouldid drop it in here too, seeing as how I am kinda fond of it...It'seems a 10 dot 1970 Case 6452 congress, half stops on all blades, two backsprings. 3 1/2" closed...Snappy all around with some real unique bone..
Thanks to Steve for selling me this one, at a really fair price too..

Very nice Mike! That bone is gorgeous.

Hey Mike.. I agree with Greg on that bone!! So many different shades/hues of color!! KOOL!! Get a pic in the fall with the changing leaves and you will really have some wild color!! John

This NOS Bulldog is very satisfying. Walks and talks with the best. Very positive half stops on both blades and a closing snap that will rattle your teeth. Excellent F&F.

These two came today.
A PAL early WW2 Electrician's knife (sans bail) and an ATLAS jack from Japan, probably from the 70's.

Love the bolsters on your Bulldog, Q.

Great-looking knives, Bruno. Very nice handles on both.

Both of my latest additions are related to Virginia hardware stores. First is a Camillus advertising knife for Mitchell-Powers Hardware Co. of Bristol. The second is a printing block used by Charles Leonard Hardware Co. of Petersburg to advertise Sterling razor hones. The second picture of the printing block is a mirror image to make it easier to read.

Great finds Dave! That home town stuff is something I find very interesting to research. It's always fun for me to be able to connect a local item I have found with the history of it's origin.

I have safely navigated my way home again and as I suspected my mail basket was over flowing. A veritable cornucopia of knives I will have to do this in two maybe three installments. So bear with me here, it might take awhile to get them all up. AnyWho here is installment #1.
