Anyone know who and maybe when this Peanut was made. Has nice bone and is 2 3/4" closed. Just has "MADE IN USA" on the tang. Thanx, Otto

Otto,

Here's what "Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings" says about the tang stamp;

Made In USA c. 1941-1960 A marking used by Sears & Roebuck. "Craftsman Forged Steel" is etched on the blade. Knives found with the "Made In The USA" marking on the tang were contract knives made for Sears & Roebuck Company of Chicago, Illinois. An ink stamp on the blade denoted the Sears brand name they were using during a specific time period. Camillus, Schrade, and Ulster Knife Company's all have made knives for Sears using this tang stamp.
