I really like that knife, Doug. You mentioned elsewhere that it's pretty plain to look at but I think it's a stunner. Gorgeous knife!Doug51 wrote:Thanks to Knifeslinger I now have 3 new Camillus knives. Here is one of them a 23.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Jerry, that is a beauty.
I've got a couple of those Yellow Jackets in different forms. They are nice knives.
Doug, you are going to love that 23. They are hell for stout.
I have two of them from different time periods. Muskrat Man recovered them for me.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Yes sir. The 23 is a fine knife. Either in it's original state or as a canvas for modification.

Jerry, those are fantastic! Especially that Marine Corp retirement knife. I remember when Glennbad posted pics of it after he completed it. I didn't realize it was yours.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
After the discovery of NOS camillus at a local hardware store in my area, I made some impulsive purchases and have now developed more of an interest in camillus. They really did make some nice knives particularly in the pre delrin era but afterwards as well. Some of their delrin is among the nicest looking in the business. Plus, they did have an affiliation with schrade so maybe I can consider it an extension of my schrade collection...

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Here are a couple I recently picked up . A 709 with jigged black bone which I think must have been part of a special edition from SMKW because the bone looks just like the old Smokey I have and two other 72's that they put out in the nineties.
Another recent pickup is this Colt .45 CCC Trapper. This is a great knife with bone handles that you can usually pick up for less than $50.

No, no Rick. Not mine. It was for one of Glenn's relatives. I gotta say though, it's one of the classiest ones I've ever seen.Railsplitter wrote:Jerry, those are fantastic!

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Thanks for the comments. I have thought about a different handle on this 23. Very nice examples all of you shared. I love the hefty blade on it. And you can put a really sharp edge on it no problem!
Here's a 67 I got with it. A little wobble in the main blade buy not terrible. It's a keeper

Picked up my 11th Camillus 14 off eBay today. I am such a sucker for these medium Jacks.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
My first #23 just walked in. It's a short underline. Blades are pretty good. The handles are a bit scratched.
Should clean up nicely.
