Vintage Camco USA 772 Stockman Pocket Knife – Blackhawk KB-10 Etch – 3 Blade Folder – Circa Mid-20th Century

This vintage Camco USA three-blade stockman is a solid example of mid-century American pocket-knife craftsmanship, built for everyday utility and long service. Featuring the classic stockman configuration, it carries a full-size clip point main blade alongside a sheepsfoot and spey blade—an arrangement favored by farmers, tradesmen, and outdoorsmen for its versatility.

The main clip blade retains a faint but readable “Blackhawk KB-10” etch, now softened by time and use, adding character and a subtle historical touch. Warm jigged brown handles, nickel silver bolsters, and brass liners complete the traditional American profile.

At 3 7/8 inches closed, this knife sits comfortably in the hand and pocket, offering substantial presence without feeling bulky.

Stockman patterns such as the 772 were staples of rural and working America—designed to do many jobs well, day after day.
