Short Line Electrician?

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.

Short Line Electrician?

Post by cody6268 »

Is there such a thing as a "Short Line" #27? I'm trying to have at least one example of every tang stamp the #27 is found with (including SFO; like Sears/Craftsman and Xcelite); and I'm just wondering.

Don't know for sure but they are listed in the 46, 48 and 55 catalogues. Good luck.

They were indeed shown in those catalogs. However, being that they are rugged knives that were intended to be used, finding one might be a challenge.
