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.

Very little without pictures, other than that it's a large stockman pattern made after WWII.

Yes, until the closure of the factory.

Vit, I would say from the first half of that decade or maybe even the very late '50s. Those handles look like "Brownstag® and that was only used for about ten years, from about 1956 until approximately 1965 or a little after when Delrin® was adopted.

My #67 has the black handles. It's also a long line so probably approximately the same age as yours.

It's "Camillus" , not "Callimus".

Here's one I have up for sale:

Wouldn't at least some of the later knives be using the same steel as the Cold Steel "Carbon-V" folders? I remember reading that it was just a matter of branding, but that the steel on the Camillus-branded carbon knives was molecularly identical to those CS knives (they also used the stuff in some of their modern folders).

It's excellent steel, though rather quick to take corrosion if you're not on top of things and live in a high-humidity area. ::paranoid::

deltaboy, it's always a fun romp through history going through the old Camillus catalogs. You see how some of the patterns evolved or changed and it helps greatly with the dating: http://www.collectors-of-camillus.us/Ca ... talogs.htm

Should be an excellent knife, just grabbed my first one, looks to be a little used short line bone handled. Don't seem to see the bone handled ones all that often.
Sellers pic, has not arrived yet.
