A Sears Craftsman 95206

[Mossdancer]

I find in another thread that this is a Schrade Made knife. If so can anyone put a possible date spread on it. It is a handful at 5 inches closed. I think the steel being included is a nice touch.

It would be a LB 7 if it was a Schrade made 1979 to 2004.Seeing it has a four pin handle it would be a early one.
Someone who has a Craftsman catalog might know the exact date.

That is most likely a Camillus (or perhaps another company) but it is flattens out before the pivot so I know it is not a Schrade.

Notice how the inside curve flattens out at the front bolster; that is unique to Schrade.
Buck, Camillus & Imperial Frontier series all have a nice unbroken curve, the curve flattens out on the Schrade LB7, 7OT, 6OT and all the variants of that 5” frame.

I was wondering how to tell the difference.Now I know. Thanks Dale
