Show Us Your Camillus Knives!

Ummm.... when do you become a hoarder?

When you see purpose in the purposeless and worth in the worthless, and won't get rid of anything. You and I are a long, long way from that point.

Very well said.

Oh, sugar booger. Now I'm a hoarder.

I blame it all on the Depression Era folks that raised me.

...I have no idea how to find it, it's either on this thread or the Camillus 72 thread, but someone (jerryd or orvet) posted pictures for me of a Camillus swell-center pen(3 5/8" closed),long oval shield, I called it a half whittler, but the primary blade was stamped "14")-I have never seen another one like it- I'm beginning to suspect it was a "lunch-box special"!!!.......... .................

I found this 4 line Camillus half whittler listed on ebay the other day and thought it might be a franken knife but bought it anyway. Then I found this old post where Tommy (carrmillus) made reference to one and also a catalogue page of one listed. It is the size of a 72 but thinner. It has a single back spring and has half stops on the secondary blade but not the primary. Also an ingenious little brass spacer on the secondary end. No stamping on the blades except for the four line stamp. I must say that I am totally stoked to have gotten it.

Great find Floyd. So that is a pattern 238. Great info. Congrats man.

[Ripster]

Nice piece of info .
Floyd, Beautiful Bones on that old piece.
Thanks for sharing that info and your pics .

[doglegg]

Papa Bones, I'm not sure if it is a model 238 or if that is the catalogue number from the MICHIGAN HARDWARE COMPANY. Thank you.
Ripster, I like those old bones as well and thanks for mentioning it.

I'd be happy with one of those Old Glory knives. They look outstanding as a group!

Today, this pocket knife joined my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 23, 2 blade, long line, 4 7/32" closed pocket knife. This is my third "23", but my first long line "23." It needed no cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is of all three "23s." Left to right, a short line tang stamp, a long line tang stamp and a double line tang stamp.
Captions, if any, are on the bottom of the corresponding picture(s).
