Some old.... some newer.

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.

Some old.... some newer.

Post by mgdelpriore »

I just wanted to share some of my Camillus collection. Cub scout knife is mine from when i was a scout about fifty years ago. Santa fey stone works was a gift, all the others were from yard sales. Hope you like them. Mike.

That Cam with the planets is real cool. Do you have any information on that like what year it was built.
Let me know if you might want to trade it for something. ::tu::

Sorry Leggo, that one is a keeper. Got it from an old girlfriend as a birthday gift. Girlfriend is gone but knife lives on. Have never seen any other ones like it. Maybe someone else would know. Mike.

A couple of more Camillus knives. The Camillus rimfire series, brass bolsters, liners, and bullet shield. jigged delrin handles. These are the fourth and sixth in the series. Does anyone know how many were made in this series? Mike.

Mike, I don't know how many of the Rimfire Series were made but I can tell you, I've never seen one offered for sale that looked like it had been used.

It just hit me. I probably misunderstood. Did you mean how many different patterns or were you talking about total production?

And I wasn't talking about yard sales. I was picturing eBay in my head when I made that statement.

I want to complete my set, but I fear that you may not like my offer :oops: .
The last two 22LR6 knives were sold at ebay for $23.74 and $26.05.
I am willing to give a little more :lol: .
