Re: Welcome to the CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY Forum
Hey, Glad to see the new Camillus threads. I got a little interested in the brand about two years ago when I bought a box of Camillus knives from a dealer. There were about 80 knives, all NIB, and I paid $1000. I've been selling them at gun shows for $30 - $50 and I have about 20 left. I picked out 3 or 4 that I like, and will hang on to those.
Life would be meaningless if we couldn't wish for anything.

The knife pictured in the bottom row far right is a Model #7 CAM-LOK Camillus Sword Brand.
Push up the locking tab to lock blade. This is an OLD KNIFE and I don't see many of them around.
Hope this helps!

I also have a Cam-Lok if anyone is looking for one.

I have a 3 blade stockman that's about 4 inches long that has the same lock for the main blade like your knife Camillus. Has the same type handles. I don't know exactly where it is at this moment but it's around here some place. They are nice knives, I like them.Camillus wrote:Desktop....

Yellow Jaket 707
Is the Yellow Jaket 707 (Copperhead Double Locking Blades) rare?
Picked one up last weekend. Thought it was unusual. I have a similar one sold by Moore Maker.
I assume Moore Maker contracted with Camillus for the 707.
I believe MM contracts with Queen now.

Yes, Camillus made several knives for Moore Maker.nifenut wrote:Is the Yellow Jaket 707 (Copperhead Double Locking Blades) rare?

We did not make many of the 707, IMHO the yellow delrin & delrin stag knives are quite rare.
The Moore Maker knives were made alot later, & I believe the patented spring system was not used on this version.

Re: Welcome to the CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY Forum
Not sure which thread to put this so let's try this one. Sherwood Camillus NY jack.
Re: Welcome to the CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY Forum
Like striking gold -- sure appreciate this forum as I have admired Camillus knives for quite some time.
Will try to post pictures of 2 older knives
One is a 4 1/4" closed English jack
The whittler has a early 3 line stamp (like a 4 line whithout the USA) on the master and the clip blades.
The pen blade is stamped BRANTFORD Cutlery Co USA -- This knife has not been apart or cleaned. Camillus surely made contract knives for Butler Bros who used this mark.
It would have been easy for this to have occured in assembly.
Sure liked the Sherwood -- Camillus knife posted on this thread

Re: Welcome to the CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY Forum
Welcome, Toolboy. You really started off with a bang, those are two great knives. That Sword Brand is just exceptional.
Re: Welcome to the CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY Forum
I have a display case that came out of an old general store. It has 40 knives and it is display case #470. Any ideas on the worth of this?
