All About Pocket Knives

This one is kind of an odd one. It had a small blade instead of an awl. There are lots of other variations. 3 blade stockman, castration knives are pretty common. Also electrician and dura tool models that used the same dimple pattern on their stainless handles.

I know this thread is a couple years old, but would you happen to know if your knife with the 2 blades & a punch/awl has a tang stamp that just says USA? The USA is a large heavy stamp & not Made In USA like Kingston used. Thank you,
John

I have 2 of those (2 blade and awl knives) both are unmarked. I have a 4 blade knife without an awl that has the USA stamp. (It is not the same one from my earlier post). It was the only one I found in my accumulation.

Do you have any thoughts on that stamp? I always assumed Kingston.

Thank you for the pictures.
I don’t have any idea on that USA stamp, but I wish I did. Every Kingston I have seen has had Made In USA if there was a tang stamp. Now that being said, I have only been into these knives for about 1 1/2 to 2 years.

Okay guys, are these knives considered MIL-K knives? Were these civilian or military? Any idea of how to figure out when they were made? I have seen some with 3 blades, some with 2 blades & an awl. I have seen some with a tang stamp of only USA, and some completely unmarked. I have not seen one of these with a bail yet. I did read through this section before asking this.
As always thanks for any help,
John

Finally got this one.

Is the "48" the pattern number or the year made? Were there Ulster- 67s?

The 48 on this one is the year made. Same as the Kingston-45 & Stevenson-45.

Skip, I missed those or atleast didn't remember them. But then a good memory isn't one of my strong points. Thank you.
