Camillus made for Sears

Post by rea1eye »

I got this Craftsman knife for Christmas this year. Has seen
some use and abuse. What year do you think is was made?

I read above post. I was hoping someone had a old Sears Tool Catalog
or the original box/packaging that might shed light on the manufacturing year.

These knives were never in any catalogs as they were assembled from leftover parts in 2005-2006.
And another addition. It wasn't made for Sears. They just used a blade marked "Sears".

Thanks for the information vit_213. Seems as though
this was about the time Camillus was going under and out.
