Knife doesn't actually look like a Camillus (due to bone jigging).

For any hope of identification you'll need to post pictures of the mark side of the knife with a close up of the tang stamp, preferably with the blades open.

Maverick -- That looks like the 'Army Air Corps Utility Knife', made during WWII but some may have been made post war.
