Yep, Rogers bone handles, steel pins and probably steel liners and bolsters. I think you nailed it Mike. I have one just like it that has a chunk out of the mark side handle. Beauty handles, eh?Meridian_Mike wrote:Here is one I just found at an Indian Artifact show........ I went to see arrowheads and found a guy with knives....
From the tang stamp it looks like it was made between 1941 - 1946 I think.

Surprisingly nice SRM605. Yeah. It's not old and Sexy. But it cuts and that's what a knife is for.

....I really like the bonne on the old Camillus knives!!!!..it's a beauty!!!.... ......
Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Have three Camillus so far (and one very special one on its way). Two short-line knives - the pruner (my eldest ) & Jack knife (1946-1950) and the electrician's knife with tang stamp "Camillus" over "New York" over U.S.A. and no underline (1946-1956?).
All blades snap the Camillus way!

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Here's my first two Camillus knives. They are in pretty good condition. I've just started collecting these, and I'm pretty excited to find a few more rare ones.
Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Great looking knives everybody, here is a old 4 line. I like the bone on this one. I think the master blade is a lil short

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Tommy, Thanks, buddy! I wish he did. I'd let you guys in on it so you all would own one. You'd be first on my list and first shot at this one if I ever decide to sell or maybe trade. I was also considering something late at night after I posted it on the #72 thread - I wanted it go to someone who had a sizable collection; someone deserving of it - but was convinced by someone to "please keep it". I had to honor that wish.carrmillus wrote:...felix, you got a winner there!!!,,has he got any more like that???....... ...............SolWarrior wrote:Here's the special one I wrote about a few posts back, a Camillus #72 1st generation Carpenter & Whittler knife.
