Thanks for the kind comment. I love these old Camillus knives.

Camillus 78 stockman with "Indian Stag" handles. Camillus IndianStag is the best looking delrin ever made.

Thanks Greg!

It's getting real expensive on ammo though

Actually, that is the one and only wormgroove bone handle I've seen on a Camillus (it has matching wormgroove on the back) and it actually makes me a little nervous until I see another one.

How about a picture of the backside?

Here is a shot of the backside:

Great looking bone, I don't see any red flags.

Here is a 3 5/8" jigged bone single blade Equal End Jack. Very nice knife, but i have not seen another. Is this a known pattern ? or an end of days assembly of parts ?

..........can't answer your question, but I LIKE it!!!!!.......... ......................

[jerryd6818]

With bone handles and that tang stamp, you have yourself a genuine, put together outta spare parts, single blade cigar jack. A one of knife, anyone would be proud to own.

[carrmillus]

....that was what I was thinking, too, jerry,i've never seen one in a catalog or anywhere else for that matter!!................ .........................

[kootenay joe]

Wow, a Custom Camillus ! and a lovely useful slender knife it is.
Jerry, did Camillus stop using jigged bone completely at some time before closure ?
I had thought that bone knives were on the 'menu' right up to 2007 ?
Thanks for help. I always appreciate it.

Camillus quit using bone sometime in the late '50s or very early '60s. The only bone I recall seeing after that was three SFO '72s made sometime in the '90s. Since I concentrate on the 72 pattern, I can only speak for them but I don't recall seeing any other pattern with bone handles after the mid-'60s.

[kootenay joe]

Silver Bullets have jigged bone handles, 1980's & ' 90's.

Well, there ya go. I don't recall ever seeing a Silver Bullet. Maybe I saw one or more on eBay but passed over them because they held no interest for me.

When you say Silver Bullet, is this what you're talking about?

JerryD I think he just used silver bullets. Had a lot of vampires in those parts ya know!

Edit: Or is that werewolves?

Here is a bone 67 I just got. It has a Crack in the bone but it will make a great EDC. Already have a Delrin 67 and that pattern is one of my favorites .
