SHARP TM Pocket Knives

Post by MrKitty05 »

I recently purchased a SHARP band folding knife. On one side of the blade is stamped 440 Stainless Japan and on the other SHARP TM. At the back end of the blade on one side are the numbers 14677. Would you think that the numbers represent the Model Number of the knife or would you think it it is the serial number of the knife. The blade measures 3 inches and the OAL is about 7 inches. I do not know how to post photos so I know that makes this identification a lot more difficult. Any thoughts?

Sorry, I have no idea what the numbers on your SHARP TM represent.
All I have on SHARP, is that SHARP was a house brand used by Kmart from the '1970s-1990s.
There are a few SHARP pocket knives posted here:

I know next to nothing about Sharp brand knives except they were sold by K-mart, and some were made by Camillus, others were made in Taiwan or Japan. However it appears some did have 5 digit serial numbers in addition to the 3 digit model numbers. Read through the posts in this thread for more info. About 20 posts down is a knife which the poster says has a serial number.

Then Theo bombed me with this Stockman:
