Camillus 179 Stockman

[Rockingkj]

Mint in box knife that’s a an interesting Camillus knife. Came with the little sharpening “steel” great company and a USA Co we all miss.

The knife is cool, but the box is not original.

This series also included #165 and #177.

By the way, #179 was produced in two versions - with a line on the bolster (early) and without a line (late).

Well I have 3 of em and they are box identically. So maybe more than one way to package a knife?

Hey Vit, great to see your post here . And thanks for the info regarding the 2 different #179 s . Wasn’t aware of that . Have the early one in original box now have an excuse to look for the later version . Noticed the colors of the insert are blue and white ,not red white and blue like the earlier versions.
Thanks for all you’ve done to help us Camillus / knife collectors over the years . Your knowledge and willingness to share and help is Greatly appreciated!

Thank you Skip. If Vit hadn’t mentioned that there are 2 different periods of the 179 s may have never noticed the difference on my own .
Have a great end of this year , and an even better 2024 . Thanks for all you do with the forum and sharing your knowledge and pics.
