Much appreciation to Roger (peanut740) for this atomic bomb that showed up in my mailbox yesterday. I'm still in a daze over his generosity.
That's some gorgeous bone there and great looking blades Jerry, congrats. Sweet knife.

Totally worth braving the elements IMO. The pearl looks amazing on that knife and the blades have tons of life left. What's the closed length of that little gem? Thanks for sharing it!gsmith7158 wrote:I just rolled in through this mess and had one in the mail basket. A pretty little pear Empire!

That's an interesting pattern, big-h! That looks a lot like the faux stag composition handles Camillus used back in the 4-line days. The spiral punch has me thinking Camillus too. I have a 2-blade jack (Turkish clip and pen blades) with the same handles, albeit cracked and with a chip missing. I intended to get the knife rehandled but I've become enamored enough of those handles to start looking for a beater version of that knife, or at least a knife with the same frame and handles, to perhaps combine the parts into one "factory" knife.bighomer wrote:Well now the mail toter brung this by a bit ago, 5 blade cattle knife guess you'd call it, says high carbon steel on the tang I'm gonna guess Colonial madeanyway its a sweet hok, I'll clean and erl her up see about honing the edge a little and enjoy tote'n her.
High Carbon Steel was a stamp made by Camillus for Sears 1928-1940. When new it had a Sta-Sharp blade etch.bighomer wrote: high carbon steel on the tang I'm gonna guess Colonial made![]()
