Not that I’m aware of, they were just civilian knives available for sale. I’m not really an expert but I’ve done a lot of research on this subject over the last 40+ years

14583AC1-B397-4152-8B14-5EAB98DBF4AA.jpegI had check but the orange handle one is 4 1/8 the metal handle one is 4 7/8. The “Craftsman” was 4 7/8 That add is interesting in that there’s never been a 4.7/8 knife etched CRAFTSMAN known to exist, only the 4.1/8.. we do see lots of inconsistencies in pa...

Re: 2 true Americans

Thank you Bill, the only reason I call them military is I display them with my other prestos,schrade, Camillus, paratroopers. I am not saying they are military issued knives. Do you know why that orange one was stamped “Paratrooper”? It’s always a good time to learn more information and you seem to...

Re: 2 true Americans

Yes there was another with “Craftsman” etch. I saw one many years ago in Rhode Island, it had full etch and a fingerprint stained on the blade that was closed and put in drawer. Kicked myself many times for not buying it. Great looking pair! i believe i had that one with the figerprint stained blade.

Be careful buying knives modded with skulls and too much file work.
Later, as your collecting matures-they won't be nearly as attractive to you.

Re: 1860's German Kris switchblade

How is the blade released? Hi John, hope alls well with you ,,, it appears to me that its a "tab" release , sort of like the old Voss and Klass knives, the tab lifts the backspring to fire. I say this looking at the notch in the blade tang area and some detail noted at the lock area. Cool picture !
