Stockmans

[redferd]

I took some pictures of my stockman knives. I use the 34OT for wood carving and the Sears stockman for carrying and the 8OT for some of both. I think the Sears was made by Schrade but I can't be exactly sure of that? Someone here might know for sure. The Sears has some type of wood handles that chips easily and has sharp stainless steel blades. Sorry for the poor quality pictures.

Nice knives, I thin the sears were made by Camillus, I can't recall for sure.

I heard that Camillus made knives for Sears too. But the Sears knife and Schrade knife are identical in size and shape. The parts would be almost interchangeable. Same dimensions on both the Sears and Schrade 8OT. I also have the Sears smaller version and it is the same as the Schrade 34OT. I'd like to know for sure who really did make the Sears knives I have. My guess would be Schrade made them. The Sears knife has stainless steel blades that get sharp and hold an edge. Maybe Sears used the Schrade + stainless steel if Schrade really did make the Sears knives? Thanks for the reply. I have a Camillus knife, I just haven't found it yet. It's somewhere in storage here but I don't remember where I put it. Called a "Senior Moment".

Both Schrade and Camillus made tons of knives for Sears, beginning in the 1920s with the STA-SHARP line. Sometimes they even made knives for one another to sell to Sears on contract, so it can be more than a mite confusing.

One of our fellow members (lrv) has a great site about these two companies...

This second link is to the page that I believe has your no shield, 4" Sears stockman ...

From your picture, it looks like a 95419 (8OT clone) to my old eyes.

Enjoy perusing, as it is a great source of information, and constantly getting even better.

That is the box the Sears knife came in and the picture of the knife too. Thanks Bill.
