Very nice Jerry. I've got one with similar handles to the one in the top photo, but never seen one as red as the one in the bottom photo. That's a beaut!! ::tu::

Appreciate it Skip. The only reason I picked up the Craftsman was because it was such a dark brown, almost black. It's the darkest handles of all the Craftsman whittlers I have so far.

Yesterday afternoon, I added this pocket knife to my CAMILLUS 72 variation/clone collection. It's another POWR-KRAFT USA, 3 blade, swelled center, milled liners, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. Although it isn't stamped or marked anywhere on the pocket knife, it is the 84-11 pattern. This is my fifth POWR-KRAFT pocket knife. Three have the shield like the one pictured below and have no pattern # stamped or marked. But, the three do have milled liners. Two have the "federal" style shield, have the pattern # tang stamped, but do not have milled liners. This one required a little cleaning. I took a few pictures and here it is.

Great find Skip. I always liked the look of the milled liners on those. ::tu::

Fished this McGrew Hillbilly Classic out of the bay recently. It is NOS complete with paperwork. After getting it and looking at the handles I am wondering if this might also be one of the black bone knives. Remington, Ole Smoky, Harley Davidson and Camillus 72 I am aware of but after looking this one over and comparing it to those the handles sure look the same. What do you think. ::shrug:: Thanks for looking.

Awesome find FLoyd. Especially with the box and papers. Need to get you a good magnifying lens maybe a X45 loop. Great looking knife regardless of the handle composition. ::tu::
