Wallace also made many of the best Camillus fixed blades, like the Jerry Fisk knives, knives that still sell in the $300 - $400 range.

Re: Camillus 47
Here is a # 47, 4 7/8" all metal lockback. Hardly ever see this one. Does it have much collector value ?
The Buck 111 looks similar to this Camillus. If i can find my 111 i will post a picture for comparison.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Vit., thanks ! Only 10,000 explains why they are not often seen. It could be a very usable knife, same size blade as a 5" LB but much more slender and light weight.
Even though almost rare collectors don't seem to have much interest in the metal handled knives.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Camillus 75 Junior Cattle Knife, circa 1957. Great opening and closing snap, BROWNSTAG handles, original edges. A bit of peppering tarnish on the Sheepfoot and Pen blades. Been needing some older Camillus Cutlery knives - this one was a good one to start with. OH

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.
