ANY OTHERS?
Did Camillus make any other steel handle knives of this type or were there other patterns? If so, what were they called? I have mint military, the two Dira-Tools on sides, and What-A-Knife on bottom. All are unused, un sharpened and not carried. If others are out there, I’d like to get them. Thanks. I have many Camillus with bone and some with Delrin handles, but obviously, I’d never be able to have a complete set of those.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
One time on eBay, I do recall seeing one sold with blade, saw, and Phillips. Only one I have ever seen. Must have been a parts bin special, end-of-days, or threw together with surplus parts by a third party post-2008. Maybe even a prototype, but I highly doubt it.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
Thanks Cody. I’d be interested to find it BUT only if it’s a Camillus and not a Frankenknife.
I’ve looked for years and these are the only Camillus I’ve seen of this style. Not pretty but ya can’t kill them.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
Camillus did make a number of the Dura tool knives with red white and blue paint on them. Kind of a flag motif paint job.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
I have the full set. I think. I’ll look later to see what you are missing. The painted flag ones I think were all made after 9/11 for a year or so.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
Thanks for the info. I’d like to find the painted ones, but hard to do a search if ya don’t know what they’re called. I’ll try a search for painted dura tool. Thanks again. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know about the other “military” ones? USAF USMC USN and a small font usmc? There is also a flag US and a desert sand US. Also one stamped NAHC Those are all the 4 blade camp knives.

Nice ! In addition to the flags, I’ve never seen any marked USN or USAF. I will have to keep my eyes open for them. Thanks everyone !

Re: ANY OTHERS?
Eveled. Camillus made more knives for others than they did under their own label. Those appear to be Camillus for sure.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
I’ve never seen one like it. So my guess is it was pieces together. But I could be wrongcody6268 wrote:One time on eBay, I do recall seeing one sold with blade, saw, and Phillips.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
I found one on sale now at E-Bay. But as much as I value Camillus, I think this is either extremely rare or way overpriced.

Re: ANY OTHERS?
Oscar in your picture your 4 blade knife looks like it has a grind line. Are you sure it’s a Camillus? The only one I have like that is a Western.
Are you limiting yourself to just Camillus?

Mine has a Camillus tang stamp so I guess it’s a Camillus. While I don’t limit my collection to the one brand, I have been a long time Camillus fan. Did you see this?

Re: ANY OTHERS?
I did see that. He’s mighty proud of it. It is the complete package.
It kind of bothered me when I realized they came out after 9/11. Like Camillus was cashing in on the attack. There were flags everywhere for a year or so.
You are off to a good start. Happy hunting. If you come across one I don’t have. Please let me know.
