I picked up this knife from a dealer that says she was made by Camillus for Beans, What do you guys think??the blade is just like my #18.also there is only L.L.BEAN on the main blade tang nothing else.

Schrade made some knives for LL Bean, but I agree, that blade looks like a Camillus to me.

Yes, Schrade would have used the Swinden construction if they had made it after the early 1960s.
That knife is obviously made with pin-through-bolster construction, probably by Camillus.

Nice knife Dog L.L. Bean used just about everybody through the years. I have a Buck 505 with their name on it and I even have a stag swinguard made by Boker for them and I can't say I've ever seen any other Boker made swinguard. They aren't shy with their pricing either.
