Great pick up Jason. I’ve found craftsman boxes very difficult to find. That one looks mint. The hinges are cool as well.

Thanks guys - I think this one is fairly uncommon. I can't remember seeing an Old Crafty box like this before.

Re: Craftsman Knives
Added this one to my Craftsman family today. A Craftsman 9473 Junior Stockman. 2-3/4 inches closed with jigged delrin handles. The blades are tight with good snap, no wobble. They are stained but still have some of the original luster.
It Needed a little cleaning, as its had some light chalk oxidation in the handles, and what looked like some 3-in-1 oil gunk mixed with lint in the blade well. Cleaned and gave a mineral oil bath, then flushed with wd-40 and blew out with light compressed air. Added some Mequire's PlastX plastic polish to a lint free towel and polished the handles. Wiped the blades down and oiled the joints.

Re: Craftsman Knives
Thanks Roland, the Ulster one has that faint KINGSTON etch as we discussed. So that adds up. And the other sure looks and feels like a good old Camillus. It’s been interesting to research these and am very happy to add them to the Collection.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 2:49 am For the two 4 blade Utility knives one is Camillus and the other Ulster Knife Co.

Re: Craftsman Knives
Here's the Craftsman version of the 34OT. I just got this from the auction site, replete with box, paper insert, and dried oil on the blades. Although it's minty, I'll be carrying it. That spey is just a little funny though, isn't it? The edges all appear to be factory. Maybe an employee had a little too much coffee that morning--or not enough.

Re: Craftsman Knives
You done good, and like new ! You mention the Spey, it does look a little off ,or maybe the9546 Crafty had a peculiar Spey. Any case, dandy piece of Cutlery and part of America’s good ol days IMO.UnderDawgAl wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 6:22 pm Here's the Craftsman version of the 34OT.
