All About Pocket Knives

There was a series of Cripple Creeks knives referred to as "Chief Anderson" knives. Can anyone tell me about this series?........ Patterns? Stag, bone, pearl, etc.? How many of each pattern?

Chief Anderson were made for Frank Phelps.Early ones were in limited # 10 to 20 in stag.
The small knives were made in stag, the larger ones were made with celluloid.
With more than one knife in a set the scales would be mixed with stag, colored bone and or
celluloid.
The main blade is etched with a picture of Chief Anderson ,early ones with # made.Later ones
the # made was dropped ,cut cost .
Being made in such a limited # there getting harder to find.
Patterns : 1 and 2 bld. small stockman with stag, large 1 bld. coke bottle ,small toothpicks

Great info GrantKy!!

Thanks for the info. Anyone have pics of Cheif Anderson knives?

I have three different ones. A 1 blade stag trapper, 1 blade stag stockman, and a 1 blade smooth white bone swell center. Been collecting Cripple Creeks for a long time absolutely love them.

I found this article in the 1986 edition of Smoke Signals. It doesn't give types of knives made but a little interesting tid bit about the chief Anderson series.

Found these knives in the 2000-9 parkers list. Sorry its not in color. Ohhh do i wish i could still buy them at these prices again.

Hello all,

Where are you planning on selling? Online store?

Yes probably I found out my brother has a couple of them as well going to try to get them all together before I sell. If I can find all or most of them thinking about building a display case for them before I sell. Got some other cripple creeks I’ll be adding to my store here soon.
