New Life for an old Camillus-Before and After
As you can see the Camillus #19 Muskrat had some issues, mainly 2 broken blades. Dale said he could provide some Western blades that would replace the Camillus blades. So the knife went to Oregon and Doctor Orvet did his thing! This old girl might have to be classified as a "Frankenknife" but she walks and talks and will be in the EDC, "going to town group" . Thanks Dale, good job!

She looks brand new now. Purty!
Now, get to work wearing those blades down like the old ones...

Very nice. That one will confuse someone down the line.
