Need a comparison.

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.

Need a comparison.

Post by cody6268 »

Anyone got a photo showing the difference in size between the #23 (the large, two blade cigar pattern often seen advertising some felt or paper company) and a TL-29/Electrician? The #23 will probably be my next Camillus.

That one looks to be in 100 times better shape than those I've been seeing on eBay.
