Case made something similar to this, but this is the first Camillus example that I have seen.
I got the photos from a knife collecting group on Facebook.

Re: Older Camillus Counter Hone
Thanks for posting that Steve. That is indeed rare. It would make a nice addition to the Sharpening Stones thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40335&hilit=Hone. I have seen Remington counter hones and I have several different hones advertising Case, Queen, and a Robeson "Sharp-Stik" but never have seen one from Camillus before.

Re: Older Camillus Counter Hone
...I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I remember seeing one of those stones when I was a kid in the tupelo hdwe. co. store when I was a kid, seems like there was always somebody standing there sharpening a knife every time I went in there with my granddad!!!..... ..................

Dang it Tommy I just came through Tupelo on Friday. I spent the night in New Albany on Thursday. I may have to come by there and give you some lessons.
