The blade grinds on the SAME pattern changed somewhat over the years, probably not too much from Boulder to Longmont (1978), but more so as first Coleman, then Camillus took the helm. Thanks for showing them! I completed my black phenolic and brass Buck collection, all in 5160 steel. 119, 105, 118 and 102 patterns. I am really liking these knives. They are going to go more "tool" for me than " collectible."

Thanks for the comments TR, I appreciate them, I agree that the gemsbok horn makes some natural finger grooves and it is straight also which helps making a handle, not much waste either. ::handshake:: Terry

::mdm:: You got me on that one Jerry! I honestly don't know where the gemsbok horn came from, it might have been a Texas ranch antelope, I bought a bunch of horns and antlers locally that were off of old mounts that were broken or not big enough for display but plenty good enough for knife handles. I won't brag about "non imported" stuff in the future. LOL thanks for keeping me honest! ::handshake:: TERRY

Nice set of DU knives!

I added a Schrade 165 and a 160OT to my collection last week. Neither has the original sheaths, but they are intact and used just enough to keep on using in their intended line of work - as hunting knives. I stoned and honed the 160 last night, then touched up the blade with some 800 grit paper - looking like it is ready for deer season! OH

I like that Cal: Schrade-Walden missed the boat (admittenly not by much) on a great marketing slogan! Of course I would have been a "Junior Hunter" in those days. OH

Here's one that I just picked up.

It's a Camillus Trail Blazer #1009 Sword Brand. From what I have been able to find out it is a civilian version of their MK2 Ka-Bar style military knife. I was able to find it in their 1972 catalog and in several others up to the 1992 catalog. It was not listed in their 1994 catalog. I read a comment on another forum that the tang stamp on this knife " US" over "Camillus NY" was used until 1974. The image in the 1992 catalog was the only one that gave any view of the tang stamp and while I couldn't make it out, it was definitely more than two lines. I'm hoping someone can verify when the tang stamp changed so I can date this knife. It's going to be hard to keep this one unused!

I was thinking 74 was the last year for that stamp. After that the N.Y. was dropped and you had U.S. over Camillus...could be wrong....maybe Orvet will help out.

I really like the knife...polished blade and etch.... ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks Bob.

I'd love to find some documentation that would verify the pre-1974 tang stamp. My Goins book doesn't mention the US over Camillus NY stamp at all.

Here we go, found the picture...also has the S guard. I recall reading they were used on presentation and commemorative knives.

Also the pre 74 stamp was used on commemorative military knives at least to 1990.

Bob,
I assume that they just dropped the "NY" in 1975.
When you say the pre-'74 stamp was used on military commemorative knives until 1990, does that include the 1009? Or was it restricted to the "military" versions as opposed to the 1009 "civilian" version?

BTW, thanks again, this is becoming a very informative conversation! :D

The statement I made about the pre-74 Is not right, a friend who is a serious military guy informed me that the stamp was retired that year.
The presentation knife I saw was his, but it was made in early 70's. I assumed all military and comm. made after were the same.
My apologies guys.....can I claim a senior moment... ::facepalm::

No apology necessary Bob. That's why we post and correspond on these forums.....to get information and knowledge from each other. When we believe we have the correct information and find that we are mistaken....we learn. ::tu::

Thanks for the information!
