That Camillus tang stamp on your knife looks like the tang stamp Camillus was using last when they closed their doors. Does it have U.S.A. stamped under the word Camillus? If it does, it's American made by the old Camillus that we all loved.

Nice example Shearer! ::tu::
I do believe it was the last tang stamp Camillus used.
