Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

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.

The 13 a little weak on the main ,otherwise okay ,more blade loss than would like but needed a 13 for awhile now so it’ll do for now. The 23 is near full blades and factory covers with no advertising. Will keep this one as is for the shortie section.
G dog,this is all your fault you know! You had to start a short line section ::nod:: didn’t ya ,lol ::tu::
:oops: What was I thinking :oops: ... look at what I've done ::facepalm::

Oh, and by the way another nice score J.P !!! ::tu:: They both look great ::nod::

Here is the latest; A Camillus Short-line # 1. This will be an EDC as it is good user shape but not a safe "queen" ::nod::

The #1 with the liner lock is a great tool for around the shop or yard . Nice latest short line ::tu::
Your handles look like these on this one when first received it. Cleaned up handle and now not so black and grimy. Are those covers black or?

J.P. I am going to take a closer look I tucked it away in my "cleaning box" for "processing" so to speak and getting back into EDC/fighting shape.

As posted on another thread, but requested here, this is a Camillus Scout Knife I got from Ray (one of our members) at a show he was at in Belton, TX. As you can see it has had some use and abuse, but I think it still has some life in it.
