Sword Brand Jack, NOS or??

Curious if anyone might happen to know anything about this little knife. I will say...I really like it.

I've checked the available catalogs, but unless I'm missing something, I don't know the pattern or have any guesses as to when it was made.

Measures 3". Strong springs, half stops on both blades. Only thing I don't care for is the sharpening job as it arrived with a huge wire edge.

Is this post-bankruptcy...meaning auction parts knife? I'm sure the regular Camillus-scroungers here have seen these for sale and can surmise where I got it, so I'll leave that out!

Likely yes.
In 1996 Camillus made a strange attempt to revive the Sword Brand trademark. These were cheap advertising knives SB100, SB200 and SB300.
SB300
SB300
I think you can see where the blade of your knife came from :wink: .

Very interesting, Vit. I recall seeing those knives now that you post that!

Those are great knives.
I sold dozens of them to my whittlin' students.
I still have two in my loaner roll.
I was selling them for 12.00 and that was a great deal for a really good knife.
