By my rough estimates, I'd safely say '70's-80's manufacture.
Boker's been making this exact one since the end of WWII, so narrowing it down is difficult.
Bolster engraving is one clue to dating, as is the long key pull.
Could you snap a close up on the stamping mate, that'll help even further.

I can see why you picked up that Spyderco. Should be a most excellent carrier. I believe all Spyderco knives with VG-10 come out of Japan; my three (soon to be one) did.

QT, that Canal Street trapper is dead sexy! ::woot::


I just picked up these two. The medium stockman in molasses barnboard bone popped up when I was Bay fishing for a Carhartt chore coat. No bids and 7 minutes left, I figured what the heck. As far as the large stockman in micarta... I guess I thought the little one needed a friend.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who feels that knives sometimes need friends!

During my lunch break today, I was informed that three packages were delivered. I knew about the two Old Timers: a 33OT and a 77OT. Neither is perfect; I suspect the 33OT has a bent secondary, and the 77OT's main has been re-profiled. But they fill holes in my very incomplete Old Timer collection, and the 33OT got some oil and went into my pocket.

I couldn't for the life of me think of what the third package was. When I got home, I realized that it was the Wards camp knife I recently purchased from Ray, AKA Paladin! It'll be fun to learn who made this one (I suspect it may have been made for Montgomery Ward's department store). "400" is stamped on the pile sid of the tang.

Received this one in the mail yesterday. Sun finally come out today, so I can take some pics. A new addition to my Craftsman family. A Craftsman 9473 Jr. Stockman. 3-3/8 inch closed, with Clip, spey, and pen blade. The handles are the redish brown composite, pre-delrin. It has the Craftsman shield without the crown. All blades have great snap, have some of the original luster but does have some scratches, spots and spiders. The 9473 was only made from 1958 to 1966. But in 1964 Craftsman Knives started having the Craftsman Shield with the crown surrounding the word Craftsman. Here are some pics.

I've noticed these knives for a long time, the G. Schrade Stainless Steel Hunting & Fishing Knife. As a user I never was interested, just looked kinda flimsy compared to my old #39 Queen or Case 6265's. After reading a little history about them I though it would be nice to have one in the pile. I figured one might show up on ebay that I could purchase. Well a few days ago this one came up, I was the only one to bid for some reason? ::shrug::
I was pleasantly surprised today! Solid lock up with the little lock on the top, no blade damage other than a few scratches, I'm happier than a dead pig in the sunshine! :)

That's a neat piece. I like the artwork on the handles.

I got another Old Timer in today: an OT18 "Mighty Mite" (such an apt name !). It needed a cleaning in a bad way, which has been done. Now it looks and snaps much better. A little sharpening and polishing may be in order yet.
