J.O.’ I would love to buy or trade for your knife, if you could be so inclined. Our knives look to be made by the same manufacturer. I appreciate your admiration for your knife, but I’m obsessed.

Wonderful knives.

I’ve missed out on some nice postings.
Great Union Ike, what’s the length? Yours looks like the Schatt and the smaller Southington I have.
Nice ones Gary and what’s the length of your Taylor’s?Your knife looks like the Saynor’s I have.

Posted this elsewhere, but I thought it relevant to post here.There’s a little discussion about Camillus and Sears’ Wilbert brand . Here’s what I found:

All are Camillus made “roosters”(flat bladed, modified secondary and unusual 2/2 stop on the pruning blade). All have identical pin placement, frames , shields ( except the one with the distinctive Camillus shield), and the unusually thick liners.
From the top:

Pick bone- Wilbert

Jigged bone - A Fields
Black composition-A Fields
Jigged bone- ( practically identical to Camillus below)-

Nice ball team of farmers Lyle!
