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.

Newest piece and first of the New Year, absolutely love this knife and quite happy to own. I don’t own many knives and yet has to be one of my top few that are my favorite.
I've already bragged on that one on another thread but I didn't brag enough. That's a wonderful knife!!!

Floyd and I think along the same lines. I have an ebony Camillus farmers jack with a little of that etch visible. It's good to see what it used to look like whole.
That's my favorite bone handles.

Found a Camillus 3 line easy opener, decent shape with remnants of an acid Easy Opener etch which is not as common as the Sword Brand etch.

Wow! Thanks for sharing John. That’s a heck of a knife with the bone ,the full spear blade and a 3 liner with remnants of etch like that.

Nice looking knife John
Here's the one I have, also etched.
Thank you Dimitri and that you all, Dimitri your example is very nice, that's only the third one I've seen with the easy Opener etch, most etched ones I've seen have Sword Brand.

I agree that particular etch is hard to come by
Two more beauties you have posted, can't beat these old EO knives!

Thank you, agree on the EO's, especially if they have a fat main.

Finally found a 3 line with remnants of an etch . The main has great snap but secondary is a little weak. Has 2 small pieces of bone missing but will leave that and the seller adjusted price so it came home to join the Camillus collection here .
John and MB . Those 2 beautiful EO s you have , are they 3 and 3/8 closed or 3 and 5/8 s . The older 3 line has more of a teardrop frame than the 4 liners and short line ones and is longer. I didn’t realize that there was a length difference . Was aware of the change from teardrop to a more rounded frame . So thus the reason for my ?
Thanks .

Question for you gentlemen? Are your 3 line EO s with etch 3 and 5/8 inches long closed?
Am asking cause just received a 3 line , teardrop style frame with etch and didn’t realize they’re longer than the more rounded frame 4 line and short line. They are 3 and 3/8 s closed .
Thank you !
