::hmm:: I have a really cool Cattle knife which was probably purchased from Sears & Roebuck in the 1930s.

I’m thinking it was made by Camillus, but I was wondering if anyone had the answer of who made it. Was it Boker? Was it Camillus? Was it you? Who knows? Somebody I’m sure.

Houston Price says HIGH CARBON is a Camillus mark from the 30's. Neat knife! J.O'.

That’s what I thought. Thanks everyone.

It came from the original owner and was bought for him by his parents around 1933-35 from Sears and Roebuck. He carried it on cattle drives, and even carried it while serving in WW2. Very happy to have it I think it’s a great set of tools as well as a cool piece of history.

As other stated Camillus made for Sears, they were only available through Sears, Camillus did not have the 5 blade with their tang stamp. Here is same knife with a different shield.
