Jerry I found one of your elusive 53's the other day. Its been rode hard and put away wet. Took some elbow grease and oil to get'er working again. The master blade has a bit of the tip gone which will sharpen out. I already got most of it sharpened out. Needs a little more work. The master blade spring is a little weak but still snaps a little.

It's a dandy little knife. Makes ya wonder why it was so short lived. (speculation)

There's some great ones, guys. I love that Rimfire, dogleg and stockman. The stockman reminds me of a Buck or Schrade OT.

Thought I might as well post some pictures of my e-toe, fresh from the shop. I'm more than pleased with its new look.

Thank you, Sir.

Here is a very fine vintage Camillus Sailor's knife, 4 3/4" closed not including bail. Note the 3 line stamping. This is older than the 4 line stamping. Knife dates to WW I or a little before. Beautiful strong knife, over 100 years old. Quite remarkable i think.

Today I acquired this Camillus 18. It is in very good condition and requires no extra care.

902 "Mini Double Lockback Promaster". Dunno why these are so elusive. It was made from the late '80s all the way up to close. I found mine here by the way.

I find it to be a great EDC. Doesn't weigh a whole lot, small (3 1/8") and the locks, being offset (the furthest back is for the serrated, the one towards the front for plain edge), are easy to release. I have also figured out how to one-hand open the clip blade with my right hand. Not to mention due to the serrated blade, it cuts above its small size.

Hopefully, these two will be arriving soon. They look like they're in pretty decent shape. I'll check each one out, do any necessary cleaning, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Looks like bone on the two of them. Is the lower one a 33?

Thank you Floyd. The top one is a "16." I'm pretty sure a "33" has a semi-circle cut out in the handle. The bottom one has no cut out, so I'm not really sure what it is.

Not likely. A #33 is an EZ-Open. That one looks pre-WWII to me but I could be wrong.

carmillus would you please post a picture of your knife that is similar to my "Sailor's jack ".
I have been in touch with Frank T. and he found a card from 1915 showing my knife as "S131" which is also written on back of master blade. Frank says he has never seen another and thinks only a few were made to show prospective buyers like the Canadian Navy. "few" = 10 or less.
It would be helpful & interesting to see another example.

Roland, just a FYI, Tommy (carrmillus) doesn't post pictures.

H'mm. This knife i have has historical significance to some degree and if there is another identical knife it is important to document.
Maybe C. could email a picture to myself ? or get a relative to ?

Try sending him a PM or an email. Maybe he just doesn't post pictures in the forums.
