I recently acquired this single blade Dunlap 9485 hawkbill, 4 inches overall closed, with black composition handles. My understanding is these were Camillus made, sold by Sears from 1938-1942.

Not too recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did not purchase the group or lot for this particular pocket knife. But, I was very surprised and quite pleased to find it among the group or lot of pocket knives. It did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a POWR-KRAFT, three blades, one tool (a punch or awl), one tang stamp, 3 7/8" closed, two springs, pocket knife. The main blade back tang stamp says, "POWR-KRAFT (over) USA" The main blade does have a WEAK half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a WEAK half stop. The secondary blade does NOT have an opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The third blade does have a WEAK half stop. The third blade does have an OK opening snap. The third blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The tool opens and closes properly. POWR-KRAFT brand, made for MONTGOMERY WARD, by CAMILLUS. This pocket knife is in GOOD condition. I did have to give it a very minor cleaning.
I took some pictures and here it is.
