Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
David, I have what I believe is your knife's "twin" in Cornwall Knife Co. livery. It might be slightly newer than yours, so possibly a younger brother.
It's about 3 7/8" (roughly) long. Here's a flash photo of the stamp:

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Good knife Tony! Sure looks like the same knife other than mine does not have a swedge on the master blade. I found a pic of a Syracuse Knife Co. knife that looks like your knife with the swedge. Wonder why the Camillus one does not have the swedge? I'm sure they are all related swedge or not.Tsar Bomba wrote:David, I have what I believe is your knife's "twin" in Cornwall Knife Co. livery.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
That's the primary reason I believe your knife might be a hair older. It looks more like a stamped long pull than a machined one, and the contract knife has the clip blade profile and machining I associate with Camillus from the post-war years pretty much up until they closed the doors.DM11 wrote:Good knife Tony!

I wonder how many knives Camillus sent out the doors, all told. It must be a staggering number.

I didnt know about the stamped and machined long pulls. Hadnt paid that close attenion to the detail. I can see what your talking about. That's a good piece of info to have. Thank you for that nugget of info! Agreed the amount of knives Camillus put out over the years must be a staggering amount!

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Nice knives, particularly that 28, that's a pattern that you don't see very often.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
How about this little 70? 2 5/8" closed. At $10 it was a pretty pricey knife in 1975!

I love the Camillus "Indian Stag" handles on the above knives. I believe it is the best looking delrin ever.
