I got this fun little guy yesterday - a 1960-76 Camillus #77. It is 2.75 inches closed. The 1977 Camillus catalog calls this a "Midget Stockman" in "Jigged Cabone". I think everyone not in the Camillus Marketing Department would call it a small stockman in jigged Delrin...

Thanks I-man, I'm glad I got this one and was lucky enough to be able to pick from a few offered by the dealer rather than buying blind. If I had the extra funds to spend I would have been tempted to buy another variation in a lighter appaloosa bone as well.Ivoryman wrote:Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Sunknife, that one is drool worthy.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Here here, I always would like a few extra funds for a couple more knives than I can afford. I had to take whatever the dealer sent me, no seeing before hand. They sold out so fast there's no swapping for another either. Take whatever you get, then you live with it. But I like getting two, no problem selling the one you like least and then you get a choice. But the temptation is always to keep them both.sunknife wrote:Thanks I-man, I'm glad I got this one and was lucky enough to be able to pick from a few offered by the dealer rather than buying blind.

Oh and LanG, thanks for the words. Believe me, if I had more funds, I'd have more Northwoods. But at that price, I buy few.

I think Keith espn77 is saying that the bullet shield used on the original Remington Bullet Knives from approximately 1920 to approximately1940 was a rimmed cartridge - not that the shield on Bruno bdev's knife had a rimmed cartridge. Here is a picture of an original Remington Bullet R4243 with a close-up of the shield.doglegg wrote:I noticed that too Kenken98k wrote:Actually, the cartridge shield is a rimless cartridge.espn77 wrote:The original shield is of a rimmed cartridge.

Good looking knife Jerry
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
This is getting interesting. If you think about it, Remington would have obviously used one of their own cartridges as a model for their shield design. The .30 Remington, one of their most popular rounds of the time, was a rimless cartridge designed for their autoloader yet their shield is definitely rimmed. Did Remington have a rimmed cartridge that the shield could have been modeled after?

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Of course, it does seem a bit odd that Remington would put a Winchester 30-30 cartridge on their knife. Maybe it's supposed to be one of the Remington developed cartridges, like a 32 or 35 Rem?
