Again thanks for the help on how to sell the 600 knife collection my father gave to me. I have sorted them all out by brand and it seems there are about 450 sellable knives as there was around 150 Chinese/Pakistan in there. So far the brands I have come across are Buck, Case, Kabar, Camillus, Imperial, Colonial, Kershaw, Queen, Schrade and others. I went through about 100 knives last night and found that the below knives do not have any identifying marks or I couldn't find any info on them. Can you help me identify these please? Lots more to come I'm sure!

The MM3 I can help with.
It is a Schrade 3OT (Old Timer) made for True Value Hardware.
MM stands for Master Mechanic.
They used the same numbers Schrade did & just put the MM prefix in place of the OT Suffix.
Probably from the 1990s up to 2004. Not sure when they were made, but I bought several MM knives at True Values after Schrade closed in 2004.
#2-The crossed arrows is a china brand. Don't know the name though.
#5- Is a Queen. It appears the etch is gone.
#6- Is a Western, probably post 1991, after Camillus bought them out.
#7- I think is German, don't know the brand.
#8- Is an Imperial made Hammer Brand, probably made after about 1936, after Imperial acquired the rights to the Hammer Brand name from the then defunct New York Knife Co.
Hope this helps,
Dale

pjtomo-
If you can get a better pic of the Tang on the Caddy knife (lobster pattern) or if you can tell me what it says, I may be able to tell you more about it. I suspect Schrade or Imperial.
I don't know much about Ka-Bar, but I would not be surprised if it was made by Camillus.

Schrade did in fact make a knife that went into the glove box of every Cadillac.........Wish I could remember the year
I specifically remember my Mom and Dad talking about the contract that Schrade got to do that knife............maybe this is the one?????????
