Thanks..



Iman mine has the model number on the back side of the blade that has the tang stamp. If it's a 16 it's not necessarily worth much even though it is a little rare. It was only catalogued one year. Or I might be barking up the wrong tree.Ivoryman wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:23 pmSorry I don't know, would be great if it was a rare one, but with my luck it won't be. How do you tell the model # ? Tang has no # just Camillus over Cutlery over Camillus, NY over USA and Sword Brand on the back side. Where do I look for model #?doglegg wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:54 pmIman, what is the model number of your old Camillus? It's not the rare model 16 is it?Ivoryman wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:05 am Old Camillus helped make tin foil dinner fodder while camping at Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho. Niece was very impressed with how this baby cut compared to all the other knives that were there. Fabulous weather and good times on the water, beach, trails and 4 wheelin' in the mountains. While off roading on a peak in the Nez Perce National Forest, we stumbled upon an ICBM missile silo. You come up over a rise at the top of the peak where it flattens out and you find yourself about 75 feet from the nose cone cover. The warning signs say you must stay at least 150 feet away from the perimeter. Too late for that. No fence, no gate, no warning sign, no nothing until you're already in violation of the perimeter warning. Strangest thing I've ever found in the mountains. Some photos for those who weren't there.![]()

In my view some of the best looking jigging on Delrin that any company has produced. Case does a nice job too. OH
Thanks, OH. It's my favorite, too, & the stag matches well on the other side of this one. And you're making me want a #69 or #1108.Old Hunter wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 12:14 pm That GEC 66 Calf Roper pattern is my favorite three-blade GEC - very nice stag handles on that one! Going to carry the closest pocketknife I have to a Camillus #69, this Kabar 1108 was built by Camillus on the same pattern. OH
Nice folder Ivoryman. And I take that as a challenge. You may have something entirely different than what I'm familiar with in the southern Appalachians, but I'll guess Laportea canadensis.Ivoryman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 6:01 pm All the botanists out there will recognize the leaf shape. Had to do some dirty work with the Tremontina machete. Had the Northfield in tow. Color looked good with the gloves and greenery so out for a shot. Stinging nettle and blackberries are taking over around here, good year for them. Was a bad day for these. Hack and slash.
I don't know the difference in varieties, just googled stinging nettle and sure enough the pictures matched. 90 degree alternating branching, serated edge heart shaped leaves, fuzzy leaves, stems etc. I don't know the Latin term for this variety, but it definitely stings big time.geocash wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 6:35 pmNice folder Ivoryman.
