ADDITIONAL INFO:       I had two Camillus knives of the same pattern, one was an older one with Rogers bone handles, probably circa World War II and the second one was probably made in the latter 1960s or 1970s with Delrin handles and reasonably full blades. I took the knife with bone handles apart and cleaned it thoroughly on the inside and tried to smooth out everything so it would operate as possible. I took the blades from the newer knife and put them in the old knife, and with the knife back together with the bone handles. It’s always nerve-racking to work with 60 or 70-year-old bone handles but they were nice and solid and went right back into place with no cracks Now you can EDC one of these old knives and enjoy the feel and look of Rogers bone without breaking your bank account! I find it very enjoyable to EDC one of these old knives, the steel seems to me to cut better than most of the new knives. Try it out for yourself!
