I have been looking for one of the Camillus knives dated 1968.. I carried one in my survival vest while flying night missions over the Ho Chi Mihn Trail in 1968. Out of Ubon Thailand. Missions were called Blind Bat missions in a C-130.

I have, I think, that same model Dexter (12" blade!). It is a monster of a blade. My great-Granddad used it to clean entire sides of pork off a hog. I mostly use it for light brush clearing. The steel in that thing is great.

Wow Scott.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Scott, amazing, just amazing.
So, I’ve had the lighter coloured 72 for a while now. It was part of a most kind bomb. The darker one was part of my antique show haul.
Then on Saturday, I awoke to this... Actually I bought the ‘baby’ from Jay at our knife club. It is a Camillus, but there’s no number. Anyone know what it is?
Little cutie is now living in my changepurse as an EDC.
