camillus streamline

Hello,all. Clockman here. Looking to buy a camillus streamline folder. Needs to be excellent or better condition. If you have one to sell please let me know. Thanks, Randy

The Streamline folders all had celluloid handles on them. It is rare to find one that does not have damage from celluloid off-gassing.
I had one for several years that I would rate excellent or almost near mint.

I keep my celluloid knives on a shelf in the open-air above my desk. I checked them usually at least once a month to make sure they're not off-gassing.
Last year I check the Streamline and I was shocked at how much deterioration had taken place in about a month. I removed the celluloid and set it aside. Eventually I will replace the handles with bone.

Personally, I recommend collectors who want a Streamline find one that has been restored with bone handles. Even if you find a one that is dead mint the celluloid handles can begin off-gassing at anytime, ruining the Streamline and any knives or other objects in the vicinity.
