Camillus #33

Post by Lawrence »

I have been admiring the 33's posted by the good folks on this forum, and I finally got one. It's in really good condition and hasn't been used much...looks like it sat in a drawer for most of it's life. Walks and talks and took a nice edge with no trouble at all. I'm really happy about this one. cheers

thanks Carmmillus...I'll have to look into the author, don't know him off-hand, but I know what you mean about carrying the knife. I have had it in my pocket since I got it...it's really my perfect knife. Although it is in great shape, I'd like the blades to take on more of an aged look, but at the same time I don't want to mess it up. In any case, this isn't sitting in a drawer any more, I like it too much ::tu::

I love the 33s. Mine is black synthetic and I would love to have one of those fantastic bone 33s. Great find Lawrence.

Thanks Jerry...this is only the second Camillus that I own, and the first one is a parts knife. I don't see many in my parts. I always loved this one, and also the #72...which all you guys have been showing off ::drool::
