All About Pocket Knives

Here a True Value Hibbard Spencer.I think made by Camillus. It's had a hard life.

Grant

Some made by Schrade for Sears.

Some Wards, some Sears. Have more could not find pictures.

Harold

Here is an 1875 catalog page from MW, note the farmer`s knives!

Some more, Two pearls probably Winchester made and the box I got them in. Also 4 bld cattle, Winchester
also I think. Small shield like Winchester.

Harold, that Ward's cattle knife sweet!

Love this thread old working knives gone by,Craftsman and L.L.Bean knives are some of my favorites due to the different company's that made them.I have a couple Wards but there hard to get up here in Maine.One of my OldCrafty Schrades I use.

Here's my only Craftsman. Sorry for the poor pics. I like the bone and it still has a readable etch. I've always wondered about the upside down shield?

That's a really nice one. If you put it in the POS Roundtable, I'll make sure you get my name.

I've seen several of these with the "upside down" shield.

Here's mine.

Nice thread on these old Sears and Wards knives. I have one more to post it is a Sta Sharp 3 7/8" stockman
Stag. All three blades marked Sta Sharp/S.R.&Co. Blade etch Sta Sharp in fancy script. Liners are coined.
Seems to be a Premium knife. Pictures should enlarge. Pattern #7066

Should be on page 4

All I see is the end label

That's it, top and sides are just black.

I have a Ward's marked equal-end that I bought years ago for Sarah, as she collects Coca Cola stuff.
The knife has a "Coca-Cola" oval shield.
I'm afraid the knife is not genuine, so I'll refrain from posting a pic.
I bought the knife from SportKolbs (Yes, it was shown on a red background) and he must have sold about a dozen just like it after I got this one.
I even wrote to ask him exactly how many more did he have.

A Craftsman sheath knife.

What makes you think it is fake?

I would like to see a picture of it

Picked up this STA-SHARP for Sears by Camillus.
According to a knife guide they were last made in 1940???? making this 75 years old! Love it.

Here are some scans of Sarah's Ward's Coca Cola three blade cattle pattern.
Ignore the rust looking stuff on the blades, they are not rusted, but bright with all original crocus finish lustre.

Lakeside Cutlery, Wards brand circa 1930.

Beautiful knife, peanut! That Lakeside etch is awesome!

Hows bout a red one.

Joe

Nice looking knife peanut. Wards must have made a bunch of these 4 blade stockmans. Here are mine most of which are duplicate of what has already been shown.

4" LAKESIDE Great Western 3 back-spring pattern
has bone problems, but unusual blade configuration
