This Camillus, single blade, WHAT-A-KNIFE, arrived yesterday.
It didn't need any cleaning at all. I took some pictures, here they are.




Thank you Floyd.



VERY impressive trio of knives!


Very nice knives David! I like em both!dlr110 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 4:35 pm I'm very happy with what the Ponder Post Rider brought today.
As you can see the first one is called a Camillus Classic Cartridge .257 ROBERTS. Since it had my name on it I couldn't pass it up. This knife is 5 1/4 inches closed and 9 1/2 with the main blade opened. The CASE Peanut is my new member knife from the Case Collectors Club.
It's A Good Day![]()

KJ, The handles are a dark wood, I'm assuming they walnut.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 5:53 am What are the handles on your Chicago Cutlery knife ? All the ones I have seen have wood handles (walnut ?) but yours looks much darker.

Now my torment can cease - I have one, so I know why you wanted one. They're beautiful knives. My torment was that I have long considered offering it to you in trade for one of your long-pull stockmans! You do have some lookers. The problem was that I knew I would regret letting that knife go.
Again, congrats on receiving a wonderful gift!! May it provide you with many years of enjoyment!
1st one I've seen as well. I believe chicago cutlery made folders in-house during the 1970'sOld Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 11:44 am Wow Ken there is a HUGE difference in size between the “normal” folding hunter and the Case Pocket Hunter! Never seen the Chicago Cutlery before - which company built it for them? OH


My understanding is that most of the Chicago Cutlery Folding Hunters were made by Schrade and one or 2 of the patterns were made by Camillus.ken98k wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 9:11 pm1st one I've seen as well.
