Greg, with your last haul and these newly acquired gifts you're gonna have to get a bigger house or at least make an addition to your current one.

Tommy, you're are indeed a very generous man. May you be repaid tenfold for ALL your kind acts, my friend!

Felix you are so correct and you have inspired me to do a new Camillus Family Portrait.

Greg, that's one outstanding and fantabulous Camillus family you have there, buddy.

And now Tommy promises you he's going to dance nude at your next wedding. Jerry is right. You're one very lucky guy, my friend,

But I don't envy you one bit, buddy.

Felix, while I'm certain that Tommy is 100% truthful, that's one promise he'll never have to keep because there won't be another wedding

I do feel like a lucky guy though as I have found more friends than knives here on this site and I hope that continues. By the way you are in that count as well!

Same here, buddy. You betcha!

...I hope you know I was kidding about the dancing, greg!!...I don't dance, clothes or not!!.....and haven't in 60 years!!, but I wasn't kidding about the #5 Camillus!!....

Wow! That was very generous Tommy! Very nice. I'm off to a trade day tomorrow. I'm keeping an eye peeled for Camillus 72's and 89's.

I sure wouldn't kick one out of the truck. Or an 863 either. Who knows I might even find one of them Cussin' and Ferns. Lol

...col., speaking of '89's, I've got a STAGLON 89(which dates it to the late 60's or early '70's), but it has a master blade stamped with the short-line mark(40's-'50's), never been able to figure that one out!!!???...............

The first mention of an 89 I could find in the catalogs I have access to was in 1972 as part of a new line with "Indian Stag" covers ("Staglon" was a Schrade name)

Hmmm. That's right interesting. I dearly love the Camillus 89 knives. Truth be told they're my favorite Camillus knife. Hard to come by around here.

I didn't see the first Camillus anything today. All I came home with is an old English machete and a fence stretcher.

carrmillus · Post by **carrmillus** » Wed Jun 14, 2017 3:38 pm

..as usual, I was wrong about the "staglon" name, jerry, but I still can't figure out how it can have that tang stamp, unless the blade was broken and replaced with an earlier blade???........

...col., I just opened up my Camillus store display, and I found a #89 I didn't realize I had. it has the correct long-line stamp and appears to be in good shape. if you are interested, let me know!!....

Three more added to the fold!

That's a fine trio of 72's Greg!

That #5 really stands out with those brass bolsters.

Good lookin' Kon-Kav. Is the condition as good as it looks in the picture?

It is Jerryd. There is a slight blade rub just above the kon-Kav etch but other than that it's perfect.

Very nice, Greg! I see you got yourself a Schrade Walden 863.

Are those scales black dyed bone? Sweet!
