Yesterday morning, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent example to be added to my general, CAMILLUS, pocket knife accumulation. It is a CAMILLUS, three blades (one has a file), three tang stamps, 3 5/16" closed, "split spring", whittler, pattern or style of pocket knife. YES, I DO KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A TRUE SPLIT SPRING pocket knife! The main blade front tang stamp says, "CAMILLUS (over) CUTLERY CO. (over) CAMILLUS N.Y. (over) U.S.A." The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "CAMILLUS (over) CUTLERY CO. (over) CAMILLUS N.Y. (over) U.S.A." The third blade/file back tang stamp says, "CAMILLUS (over) CUTLERY CO. (over) CAMILLUS N.Y. (over) U.S.A." This pocket knife does NOT, and did NOT, have a pattern number anywhere on it. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. The secondary blade does have a WEAK half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The third blade/file does have a WEAK half stop. The third blade/file does have a GOOD opening snap. The third blade/file does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
