KNIFAX:  

Manufacturer: Camillus 

Brand: Camillus  

Model: General Utility Easy Opener  

Year: 1930s-1940s  

Size: 3 3/8" closed -- 5.8" open 

Blade steel: Carbon

Cover material: Rogers bone. 

Fit & Finish / Walk & Talk: Showing age. Main blade has snap (maybe a 4 pull) but has a bit of play and wobble. Pen blade is rock solid with 0 play and strong snap and like a 6 pull. Has original bail but it could maybe use a careful re-peening as it swings very freely. Beautiful Rogers bone covers with decent fit but a bit of gapping where they meet the end cap.

Original Owner: No  

Condition: Used, carried, sharpened, patina'd, user wear. Has been lightly cleaned by me to remove some rust and gunk but has not been deep-cleaned or buffed/polished.  The bone covers show a bit of age but still have nice mellow color. There appears to be a minor crack at the pile side pin nearest the end cap but it doesn't look like it even goes through the whole thickness of the bone and I can't even feel it with my fingernail. Blades show usage/sharpening wear from use. The main blade is maybe 80-90% complete but has some deep scratches likely from cutting wires or something. Pen blade seems to be complete but used and needs a sharpening. I did some basic touch-up to the edge on the main blade so it is sharp but it hasn't been given a proper sharpening. The main blade's tip is a touch proud of the handle.

Modifications: None  

Damage: No direct damage beyond user wear. 

Notes: Great for a good looking display and could be a good user if the main blade wobble doesn't bother you or you feel like trying to tighten it up.    

I will pack this thing like it's your baby and ship it as quickly as I can possibly get to the post office.  

Shipped via USPS with tracking.
