Camillus 5 blade?

Post by Chief RID »

I am pretty sure this is Camullus but the blades and tang stamps are no help. The bone does look pretty good. Anybody know the pattern #, or hazard to guess?

Thanks cato. I guess it could be Rodgers Bone. Yours sure looks like it is. Mine is extremely pocket worn but I like honest wear. With better blades it will look more presentable. This is my 1st old Camillus. I was hoping to stay away from the knife repair bench for a while but I may have to get this one in service. Honey dos and handloading ammo will have to wait I am afraid.
