Show Us Your Camillus Knives!

[jerryd6818]

Here is one I just found at an Indian Artifact show........ I went to see arrowheads and found a guy with knives....

From the tang stamp it looks like it was made between 1941 - 1946 I think.

Yep, Rogers bone handles, steel pins and probably steel liners and bolsters. I think you nailed it Mike. I have one just like it that has a chunk out of the mark side handle. Beauty handles, eh?

Yep, all steel... Yep, i like the scales. That is what caught my eye.
This guy had several knives in a case marked "any knife in this case $30"... I needed some more money.

3 cigar jack cousins--The pick bone with the CAMILLUS etch has the early 3 line stamp

[carrmillus]

...those 3 are real winners!!!!!..... ..........

[Meridian_Mike]

Those are some nice ones Toolboy!

[CheckSix]

I agree! Those are great examples.

[Just Plain Dave]

Surprisingly nice SRM605. Yeah. It's not old and Sexy. But it cuts and that's what a knife is for.

[toolboy]

scarce gunstock pattern--3 5/8" closed--1/2 stops--iron bolsters

[carrmillus]

...that's the first one of those I've ever seen!!!...nice find!!... ........

[Just Plain Dave]

I would have sworn that I didn't put that SRM in this thread. I humbly am sorry!

[sakoblade]

Camillus utility knife 4-line stamp. Shield is unusual but looks original. Any comments welcome

[carrmillus]

....I really like the bonne on the old Camillus knives!!!!..it's a beauty!!!.... ......

[SolWarrior]

Have three Camillus so far (and one very special one on its way). Two short-line knives - the pruner (my eldest ) & Jack knife (1946-1950) and the electrician's knife with tang stamp "Camillus" over "New York" over U.S.A. and no underline (1946-1956?).
All blades snap the Camillus way!

Here's my first two Camillus knives. They are in pretty good condition. I've just started collecting these, and I'm pretty excited to find a few more rare ones.

[montemojo]

Great looking knives everybody, here is a old 4 line. I like the bone on this one. I think the master blade is a lil short

Tommy, Thanks, buddy! I wish he did. I'd let you guys in on it so you all would own one. You'd be first on my list and first shot at this one if I ever decide to sell or maybe trade. I was also considering something late at night after I posted it on the #72 thread - I wanted it go to someone who had a sizable collection; someone deserving of it - but was convinced by someone to "please keep it". I had to honor that wish.
