identify Camillus

Post by RomeoTango »

Came across this Camillus pocket knife. Pretty rough condition. Best I can deduce it is a 1969 model. Can anyone confirm or know the actual model/year?

Tips on dissambly and restoration would be appreciated.

BTW, I'm new here.
Great forum.

Deluxe Premium Stock #69
Produced from 1946 to 1987
Your knife is probably made in the 70s.
The blades are badly lost. In the original, it looked like this.

Do blades and springs get like that from soaking in water for a certain period of time? They almost look brittle.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
