Thanks Floyd. Ripster and I had talked about it back when he posted one he had picked up. Not much info out there on it. Some theorized it may have been a sales promo, a Give Away at dealerships, or an award for service knife. But I posted what I found out on the owner of this one in the Schrade section.

I have been outdone, Smitty! You now have the Cadillac of Craftsman knives!Papa Bones wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 7:45 pm Finally received this one late yesterday evening. It is a Schrade U.S.A. tang stamp 708B. A 2-3/4" Serpentine Pen knife, it has the smooth black delrin handles with the Cadillac Emblem Shield.On the mark side, the clip blade has a Schrade U.S.A. tang stamp (without the model number) with a blade etch of "Cadillac Craftsman", and on the pile side it has the model number. This one is like new and came in the plastic view box with all inserts. No use evident on the blades and great snap. I will post more about it with some info on it's background in the "My Latest Schrade Thread."

Cool, dog! I got mine in hand last night, worked on giving it a little spit shine and will post some pictures on a different thread tonight.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Was on Camillus Knife Collectors over on Facebook the other day and a fellow was thinning his herd a bit. He listed 4 old Camillus' and this one caught my eye. A 2nd generation short line bone in great shape. More pics on the 72 thread. Thanks for looking.

Q, Your Queen Stag w/Spear blade is an exceptional piece. I judge a knife exceptional when I recognize I would buy it in under 5 seconds of examination. Congrats! I think it is a classic.
