.........unless my memory is totally failing, I think I saw one on ebay a while back with a 6" blade, but that's the only one!!............ ...................

This one is the Camillus 5665L66 USAAF Emergency Kit Knife. They were supplied in 1942, 5 inch blade, 35,500 were made almost evenly split between stagged bone and stagged rosewood. Sheathes supplied by J.H.Mosser.

...........the 2 that I have look identical to the top one, except both of mine are about 7 1/2" o.a., and about 4" blade length.................... .........................................

Looks like a good knife I might have to find me one of those

Camillus "Western". I need a sheath for this one in case any of you guys have one.

I picked this one up at a yard sale over the weekend. It's pretty beat up, and the sheath is wrong, but the price was to good to pass up.

....wonder if it's a ww2 knife??..there is a way to tell from the markings, but I don't know how to do it??...it looks old enough to be ww2!!.......... ................

[mgdelpriore]

The guy I got it from said it is a "old army knife". I did'nt ask him what war, but if it is ww2 maybe the sheath is mill. issue. I do'nt see any other markings on the knife and I have'nt cleaned it yet. do you know where to look for some clues to it's age?

......check on the "military related knives and tools" forum, i think that's where I saw that!!.......... ....................

Don't know how I missed posting to this thread...... Here are my Camillus fixed blades. Mark I USN on the left and six JPSK. The two JPSKs on the left are undated, making them pre 1967. Of course the first one on the left has the 6 inch blade. The rest have 5 inch blades. Continuing left to right the third one is dated 1967, then 1972, 1975 and 1984.
