sword brand

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

..jerry, I've got the same knife, except mine has the compass, same shield, only the master is 4 line stamped, and I remember someone posting that back when all blades on a knife were 4 line(1914-1941) they didn't stamp tool blades like a punch, can opener, etc, so I'm betting yours is the same vintage or a little later than mine which is supposed to 1914-scouts started in 1910, and this was the first Camillus model of the scout!!.............. ::tu:: ............

A #70 compared to a #72. Introduced as part of the Prestige Line in '73 it was called the 'Hiker'. They changed the name of the #70 to 'Woodcarver' shortly before the pattern was discontinued in '82 or '83.

Your eyes are just fine Tommy. The coping blade was broken and the shield was missing. I paid $1.35 for it (plus $3.00 shipping). I had a spare coping blade so I sent it to WB (whitebuffalo58) who worked his magic on it and it's now my carry knife.

Tommy, when you say handles are you talking about the entire frame (bolsters + liners + handles, etc) or are you talking about the scales (handles, covers)?

I've got a couple Silver Sword's ... one just like the one of yours on the bottom. To me, these seem like Camillus' budget offering - the blades are really chunky by comparison & not ground as finely as most other Camillus knives I've owned.
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee
