Thanks JP. I have a weakness for both short lines and bone handles.
Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Afternoon Folks ,was looking thru some things and found a short line model 100. It’s been well used and forgotten about till now.
Nothing fancy,used to use it in the shop years ago,time to clean it up and put it away with the other Short lines .

Very cool knife JP. Are the handles celluloid? Very knice.

Evening folks ,just got done cleaning up a little 64 short line,got the rust off,decent blade action now. It’s a well worn piece,but seems to have been treated ok. The handles are wore smooth on both sides,someone carried it a lot by the look and feel of it .
Like to find a 68 like Skips,and need a 66 like G dogs and now I got the fever ,oh well . Take care out there you all .

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Awesome find JP. You gave the old girl some new life. Cleaned up really well. A bonus being a short line and the awl is not chipped off. Pocketworn doesn't bother me as long as the handles are not cracked or shrunken.

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Well I bid on this one on "FleaBay" ... and I missed it!!! I should have paid more attention to the ending time... or put a higher reserve bid in... Oh well, there is always another Short-Line waiting for me down the road... I hope!!!

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
This arrived yesterday and it got added to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. This is NOT the same #1 that I posted back on June 4. It's another CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line tang stamp pocket knife (1946-1950). Not the prettiest #1 that I've seen, but certainly not the ugliest #1 that I've seen either. It still has a lot of life left in it. It did need some cleaning, I did what I could. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Thank you Floyd.
It definitely deserves a place in my humble collection/accumulation.
It is sharp as hell and has a very, very, nasty snap. Luckily, it has a
great half-stop also.

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Great find and great save Skip. Very full blade, and by your description has a good strong backspring.

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Received this short line #9 today. Not a big fan of these but needed one for the short line collection. It’s a big old knife,well built with good snap and half stop . Its been cleaned, the blade and bolster anyway,but not overly buffed . The Blade well is full of polishing compound and lint,plus needs a good flushing and good oil,then it’ll get some Ren Wax and put away with the other shorties.
G dog, here you about missing out on one, the other night I blew the chance on a nice one. Good luck on the hunt
