That is a very nice Craftsman auto. I didn't know they "made" autos.

You always take such nicely composed photos, Tim....you really ought to consider posting them in the "Knife Photography" thread ::nod::
Thanks, Q! I have a lot of fun trying to figure out how to take the next one. And, as you can see, I like labeling my photos, too. You make some really nice ones, too. Wish I had the flowers and the scenery you have there!

A tough looking knife, Ridgegrass.

That lockback is a beauty, Tim! Camillus did really good for Sears with that knife.

I know I am a day late, but here is one of my backyard knives. Seems like a lot of Craftsman knives got used up or abused. I have a few with broken blades or just worn out blades. This one has both!

I can identify with that knife Mel. I'm glad it's still employed.

Surprised to find this little beauty came with a sheath and sharpener. I’ve searched high and low in Sears catalogs and can’t find this knife, First, in the 1980s Sears quit listing knives in their Fall/Winter, Summer or Christmas catalogs. Went to listing them in a special Power and Hand Tool catalog in the 1980s, and they are kinda sparse online. I’m just guessing based on numbers I’ve seen on the knives that this is late 1980s, early 1990s. The number on the tang is 95225.

That's a real beaut, Tim! Here's a recent Craftsman favorite of mine for Craftsman Thursday.. It was missing the shield, so until I can get one, this brass will have to suffice..

What very cool knives and a very fine watch I might add.

I had to take these pictures by the light of a lamp but here it is.
One of my favorite knives.
A nice old hunter with a locking clip and a formidable spey. ____ EDIT: it is a spear blade.
No numbers on the tangs.
