Another Pawn Shop Find

Post by orvet »

Here are the two other knives I picked up at the pawn shop where I got my Schrade Cut Co.

The first is a Camillus, with a Catfish Hunter signature blade etch. I paid the same price as the Cut Co. Pretty good I think?
Does anyone know anything about this knife? I am told it was made in the late 1970s or early 1980s, but I do not know this for a fact, just someones recollection.
It seems to be a limited edition (of how many I don't know) but the serial number is 14379.

The other knife is an unsharpened Frontier 4622. This is one of the cleanest and most minty of any of the Frontiers I have in my collection of Imperial Frontiers made in the USA. The sheath is as new as the knife, but I am not sure it is original to the knife. Perhaps someone knows for sure on the sheath.
Oh, the price.................................way too much (compared to the other two knives)...........$20.00. ::doh::

Great knives Dale! I have a thing for the Camillus Wildlife series. I bought one new in about 1980 and I still use it today when I go to the mountains, or need a good solid lockback. I have a bid in on an auction mentioned here on this forum for 6 more of them. Idoubt if I get any of them for $20.00 much less two of them. The ones I bid on aren't even the Catfish Hunter series. Great pawn shop scores! ::tu:: ::tu:: Kelley
