All About Pocket Knives

hey everyone i told my dad about my new found hobby anyway he gave me this old craftsman canoe pocket knife. it has a brown bone handle the main blade is fine and clean but some of the other utensils are a little rusty, but its made in the u.s.a. its in great shape other then the other 3 utensils being a little rusty.

Hi zeke,
I've got an old Schrade trapper that belonged to my Grandfather. Just to look at it, you wouldn't think it to be worth .50, but I wouldn't take a 10 acre farm for it.
Have a good one....

sorry to drag this post back up again but does anyone know what the value of this knife might be? its a canoe knife craftsman brand, one blade, 3 tools. brown jigged bone. sometime before 1981 beacuse my dad had it since id been born but he doesent remember when he bought it exactly. if anybody can find one or a pic on the internet describing this knife please show me. on the blade it says (craftsman usa 9549)

Zeke,

I have this same knife, I think. The blade stamp is the same. Mine has an awl, a can opener, and a can opener/std blade screwdriver.

There's a depression in the handle where I assume some sort of emblem rested. The emblem is long gone. Does yours still have it and if so, what is it?

I wouldn't swear to it, but I think this knife may have been a official Boy Scout knife that I bought around 1980. Would you like me to post a pic or two?

I have no idea of its value to a collector. But like mumblypeg said, I'm keeping this one!

I only own one Craftsman and it is somewhat used and needs a good cleaning. Does anyone have an idea how old it is?
