Re: It's In The Mail
This one should be in the mail shortly. Pulled it off ebay this morning. 1946-1950 CAMMILUS Utility. Seller says that the master blade in sluggish and appears to not close all the way. I really don't see any reason for it, but we shall see. On the plus side, it does have gorgeous Rogers bone handles, which are my favorite.

I hope you got it cheap T.J. Oh, wait a minute. I forgot who I was talking to. 
Just saw my #14 is in Oak Creek, WI so should be touching down Rockford tomorrow morning.

Psh. That's considered lightning fast in my neck of the woods, Jerry. In the city I live in it can take over a week to receive a letter sent by someone located on the other side of town.jerryd6818 wrote:It's taking two days to go 135 miles.

Re: It's In The Mail
This one should be in the mail shortly also. A.W. Wadsworth/Germany/D.R.G.M. Scout Tool. Cheap old ugly knife with tin handles. Bought it because it is a variation on the "electrician's" knife with double-cut screw driver blade I've not seen before. The price, with shipping, was just as cheap as the knife appears to be

Re: It's In The Mail
Thanks to Dimitri (Miller Bro's) for sending me a replacement blade for this knife and Glennbad who did the reblading.tjmurphy wrote:This one is in the mail but out for delivery this morning. Miller Bros. WWI era electrician/radio knife. It's a little worse for wear but was cheap enough to buy to hold a place for a better one. It is a stamp that I don't have. Good handles and nice shield. Anybody got an extra master blade laying around that they don't need??

I purposely ask Glenn not to clean the knife up because all the parts match. The Miller Bro's knife is one that I did not have.Before

No one is going to get overly excited over this Camillus Dura-Tool but I don't care. It adds to a small collection of this type of knife

That looks pretty doggone handy to me Jerryd. You could do a little whittling between New Castles with that!

Ordered some knives to help cheer myself up after I finally got a discharge date from the hospital (not the funny farm, I swear). These should be along shortly to bring back my good spirits:

Great-looking knives, Tony. I really like that Northfield.
Knives are always a great way to lift one's spirit. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Re: It's In The Mail
Bone handles on the Schrade/Walden 863 ?
The jigging is not peachseed so might help to date this knife within the 1947-72 time span ?
I think Calvin might know about this.
It is a GREAT score.

Re: It's In The Mail
This is not really on topic, but this knife arrived today, June 19. It was shipped from New York on March 6. I bought it new off Ebay and received a refund (it was only $15) when it did not arrive within a couple of weeks. This morning it appeared in my mailbox with the original March 6 shipping order. Only a little over one hundred days ...
