Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Have three Camillus so far (and one very special one on its way). Two short-line knives - the pruner (my eldest ) & Jack knife (1946-1950) and the electrician's knife with tang stamp "Camillus" over "New York" over U.S.A. and no underline (1946-1956?).
All blades snap the Camillus way!

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Here's my first two Camillus knives. They are in pretty good condition. I've just started collecting these, and I'm pretty excited to find a few more rare ones.
Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Great looking knives everybody, here is a old 4 line. I like the bone on this one. I think the master blade is a lil short

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Tommy, Thanks, buddy! I wish he did. I'd let you guys in on it so you all would own one. You'd be first on my list and first shot at this one if I ever decide to sell or maybe trade. I was also considering something late at night after I posted it on the #72 thread - I wanted it go to someone who had a sizable collection; someone deserving of it - but was convinced by someone to "please keep it". I had to honor that wish.carrmillus wrote:...felix, you got a winner there!!!,,has he got any more like that???....... ...............SolWarrior wrote:Here's the special one I wrote about a few posts back, a Camillus #72 1st generation Carpenter & Whittler knife.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Wallace went to work for Camillus in the 1970s, worked there 30+ years and was THE custom shop for Camillus. He does great work. I have a couple of 72s he rehandled for me, one in gold lip pearl, the other in pre-ban elephant ivory and they are out standing. I guess you could say that Wallace is to Camillus what Herman Williams is to Schrade.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Wallace also made many of the best Camillus fixed blades, like the Jerry Fisk knives, knives that still sell in the $300 - $400 range.

Re: Camillus 47
Here is a # 47, 4 7/8" all metal lockback. Hardly ever see this one. Does it have much collector value ?
The Buck 111 looks similar to this Camillus. If i can find my 111 i will post a picture for comparison.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Vit., thanks ! Only 10,000 explains why they are not often seen. It could be a very usable knife, same size blade as a 5" LB but much more slender and light weight.
Even though almost rare collectors don't seem to have much interest in the metal handled knives.
