Camillus "Riders of the Silver Screen" series

Post by Vit_213 »

The Riders of the Silver Screen knives were offered from 1991 through 1994. Eleven models were in this series.

Hey Vit_213, how are things on the other side of the world?
Just catching up on my reading your posts and was wondering about the size of the "Riders of the Silver Screen" knives? They fit the "Moose" description in my way of thinking. Did Camillus make this pattern with a "normal" handle?

Treefarmer,
I like these "Moose" :wink: - Reputable knives.
A similar model is smaller size Camillus did for Remington - Muskrat Bullet Knife R4466 (1988).

Phil Gibbs quote:
"The Remington R4466 (1988 Muskrat Bullet Knife) was made from Pattern # 5779 bolster scales (Camillus Boy Scout Knife) & Pattern # 5773 blades (Remington R1173 1983 Small Trapper Bullet Knife).
Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time!"
