Those are all SWEET, but I really like the second one down in the middle column and the third one down in the left column. Image

I notice they all have stag or ebony handles. I also see that the catalog is by Smith Brothers Hardware Co. and not by Camillus. Perhaps Smith Bros used the term “stag” for “bone stag”, which these appear to be. Most of the 1920-1930 Camillus knives I have seen have had bone stag, wood or celluloid handles. I don’t recall seeing any in stag, but I don’t recall as well as I used to either. :oops: ::shrug::

Does anyone have any of the patterns listed here?

Silver Sword Wood Knives
Orvet I have a few old Camillus Sword Brand Knives I can't Find anywhere or in any catalog. Starting with the 1946-8 catalog all the way to 2006 and no trace of these knives but I could have sworn I'd ran across them somewhere before. Is it possible you or some guru in this forum might know of them. One is a wood handled Sword Brand 822 and the other is a Complete Wood Handled 802 Single blade Sword Brand knife, both have the Camillus 802,822 USA Stamp and on the Obverse they are stamped "Silver Sword" with crossed Swords in between. Again I thought I'd seen them somewhere before but I can't seem to place where that was Now. There's one other that's all wood also and resembles a #2 or #3 Lockback and about the same 3-1/4" or 3" Closed I didn't take pictures of yet but it has Wood Bolsters and handles also. Could I possibly ask for some help Identifying these knives and from what Time period.

Check your PM.

The last mention of the 822 is the 1994 catalog.
Camillus never listed them with wood glued on the handles like those. I think someone glued the wood on those. Maybe they didn’t like the stainless handles, or wanted to make their own “Rare Factory Find.” :lol:
