Vintage Sears Craftsman Stockman Knife – Model 95311 – Wood Handles – Stainless Blades – Circa 1980s–90s

This vintage Sears Craftsman 95311 stockman knife is a fine example of mid-to-late 20th century American utility and craftsmanship. Featuring richly grained hardwood handles, nickel silver bolsters, and three mirror-polished stainless steel blades (clip, spey, and sheepfoot), this is a reliable, working-class folder made to last.

Craftsman knives from this era were manufactured in the USA by top-tier contractors, with Camillus often responsible for their stainless models. This particular piece, with its clean blades and solid snap, reflects that durable heritage.

Historical Note:
The Craftsman name became synonymous with American reliability through Sears’ branding strategy beginning in the 1920s. By the 1980s–90s, Craftsman pocket knives were made under contract by companies like Camillus and Schrade, maintaining a legacy of rugged, affordable American tools.

Collector’s Note:
With its sleek wood handles and strong walk-and-talk, this knife is equally at home in a collection or a pocket. A great example of vintage American tool culture that still holds up to real-world use.
