All About Pocket Knives

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.

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.

Nice to see this!!

I will try to contribute as my time allows,

Best to all,

Phil

Thank you Phil!

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.

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.
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.

THANK YOU for the info.

Not sure which thread to put this so let's try this one. Sherwood Camillus NY jack.

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

Welcome, Toolboy. You really started off with a bang, those are two great knives. That Sword Brand is just exceptional.

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?

Let`s see some pictures

Here's an old three spring five blade cattle knife. 3 5/8" closed.

That is a nice one Joe!

Thank you, Dale. I'm glad you like it.

...........wow, that's a treasure!!!......I've only got one 3 spring Camillus!!.......... ........................

Thank you, Tommy.
This is my only three spring Camillus as well.

.......wish I could post pictures!!....mine is 3 3/8", 4 line stamped, plain bar shield, 2 blades plus the punch, rogers bone and you need good fingernails to open it!!!!........... ......................

A pair of well used Camillus jacks, both EOs.
