Craftsman small jack knife...who made it?
I recently acquired a very nice Craftsman small Jack knife. It has great snap on both blades is tight and no wobble. I figured when I bought it, that is was likely a Schrade, but now that it is in hand, it doesn't look like a Schrade mane blade. I figured that folks here would have a better idea of the maker. like I said it is in good condition and wicked sharp!
Thanks
Thanks

Looks something like a Camillus 21 without the threaded bolsters, 2-3/4" ?? J.O'.

The "jigging" of the delrin looks Schrade.Bloodhound wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 5:03 pm I recently acquired a very nice Craftsman small Jack knife.

Also in the picture I don't see a pivot pin.

Re: Craftsman small jack knife...who made it?
I got an e-mail response that suggested that this might be an Ulster 180...
With the bevel on the top of the main blade, I wondered if it might have been a Western? It doesn't really matter as its going to be a user knife in my desk at work. It is small enough that it won't catch anyones attention/concern

I 2nd the thought it is a Schrade made knife. Jigging right and no bolster pins. Nice little knife.
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.
Nature abhors a vacuum, me I hate a dull knife.

I believe that it was made by Schrade. I have a couple of Craftsman knives with the same jigging pattern on the handles, same swedge on the main blade, and have the Swinden pins.

That's an Ulster model 180.

Re: Craftsman small jack knife...who made it?
Thank you all for your thoughts and information.
As I said I am very happy with my purchase. It will live in my brief case and be my office knife...after a quick clean up of the blades and such. I really like a 2 blade Jack and the size of this will not freak people out.
Thanks again
Scott

It does look like a good, non-threatening knife for that situation.
In my opinion the old traditional knives are best in public. Most people don't see a traditional knife and think of a weapon, instead they remember their Grandpa or someone who was good, hardworking, and handy with tools. That is not a bad image to have!
