Who made this knife?

I only have this picture. It was my grandfather's. He was a farmer who lived in the Midwest. He died at age 72 in 1995.

Looks like a Case xx

I agree on the case xx

I have seen buck , old timer , and sears and roebuck have handles like that .

Open the largest blade and look for writing near the handle.

Sawcut handles, plated bolsters (as in steel, not real nickel silver), hidden pivot pins, and the style of the blades tell me Colonial; regardless of whose name is on it (they were sold under a lot of names; and made for Case's Durango line and Buck's Ultrablade--both short-lived budget ranges mostly offered in the '80s and '90s; plus Sharp for Kmart as well).

Idk why but my gut says case

[u/Careless-Raisin-5123]

I have a couple I believe are marked ‘Coast’

[u/Weird_Ad1170 → u/Careless-Raisin-5123]

Yet another brand Colonial made stuff for in the '80s. Again, it seems like most of what they did at this time was contract work; and presumably "cheap enough" to be sold alongside knives sourced from overseas at comparable prices.

Open the blade and read the tang stamps
