ooohhh baby

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.

ooohhh baby

Post by Berryb »

This one came in the mail today, as part of a trade. Almost new, never sharpened. Short line Camillus #12. The only problem it has is; it makes the rest of my collection look pretty sad. I tried to look it up here but the search won't look for numbers, so what do I call it? Thanks.

No doubt about it, that is one fine looking piece of cutlery. You better not walk down any dark alleys with it in your pocket.

Amazing old (Rogers?) bone on that beauty, Colonel. It would put my hoard to shame, too. ::tu::
