Oddball

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.

This is one weird knife currently being sold on eBay with parts from two different knives Camillus made from different companies. It's got a Santa Fe Stoneworks stamped blade and a Craftsman shield. It also looks unfinished--perhaps made close to the end?

And I'm sure it's worth nowhere near the sellers $50 asking price. If it were inline with what the occasional unfinished Camillus goes for (less than $20), I'd be all over it.

Yeah, the pins don't look right, even when compared to an unfinished one (whose heads are typically like a crosshatched nail head).
