Q, Jerry I always appreciate and value your comments.

Is it safe to assume you're talking about me, Jerry, and not one of the several other Jerry's on the forum. If so, thank you Floyd.

A rare instance when it is safe to assume. And you are welcome.

Really nice handels on that Craftsman doglegg.

And that Camillus Short Line is nice as well N_W_NY. Anyone know why it's called that? Is it shorter than normal?
Just wondering.

Tom, Starting right after WWII, Camillus changed their tang stamp.

The one used from 1946-1950 (generally accepted time frame by most everyone but me) which is commonly called the "short line" because it's shorter than the rest.

Then from 1960 to 1976 (I maintain it had a longer run than that) they used a longer line.

From 1989 to close of business they used a double line stamp.

WARNING!!!! Camillus tang stamps are not set in stone and are not a reliable method of dating a Camillus knife. They only get you in a very loose ballpark.

Oh! Got all sidetracked with the Camillus tang stamps and forgot to show you what was on my front porch today.

It came in a tin.

Very good looking Jerry. Fine acquisition.

[jerryd6818]

Why thank you Garry. I'm quite pleased with it.

You know the other topic where you have to post this knife.

Thank you Tom.
Oh, my name is Skip.

This one arrived today and is my latest acquisition for the menagerie or zoo. This "moose head" fixed blade knife, no sheath, from COLONIAL. Please excuse the shadow on the blade in the first picture.

Thanks for the explanation Jerry. That's a big help for me and any other inexperienced collectors interested in Camillus knives.

Oh, & nice B&D Mini Trapper.

When thinking about the Camillus tang stamps, let's not forget the long line with the slanted letters during the '76-'89 (+/-) time. It's listed on the chart in the tang stamp. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... &mode=view
I've got a couple electricians knives, TL-29 style, with this stamp.

The Sword Brand Stamp is cool. I like that one best. Great Pictures! Thanks treefarmer.

The warncliff bladed work knife is Jerry's fault. He posted a photo of one the other day and well you know the rest. The toe nail just because I didn't have one and now that I do what the he$% do I do with it. It's a heavy dude.

Just got back from the post office with this knife. Another Camillus 72 variation by Remington, but NOT one of the three variations that I knew about. This is a Remington "R14" with the circle Remington shield and the circle REMINGTON, MADE IN USA tang stamp. However, there is NO pattern # (R14) stamped anywhere. So, to me at least, this is a fourth variation in regards to Remington. Yes it has the correct 3 blade, swelled center configuration and it is 3 5/8" long, closed. The first "picture" is of the description of the three variations that I knew of. The last four pictures are of the knife. It didn't require any cleaning at all.

I see in the first picture it says "wood handles" what kind of wood is that?

That "wood" handled Remington variation is the one that I DO NOT have. There is a seller on eBay with two of the "wood" handle variations, with etched blades (yet another variation), but he wants $$. NONE of my 3 Remingtons have wood handles. As far as what type of wood the handles are made of, I have no idea. I'd like to believe that they're ebony, but I highly doubt it.

BH, I've also wondered about the usefulness of the elephant toe knives. But you got a good looker and the Wharncliffe is a great looking knife.

Great little knife, I bet that wood one will show up before too long at a decent price. Congrats.
