The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Those 84 11's don't seem to be as plentiful.....
Thank you Floyd.
I'm happy when I find ANY "72" variation.

Today I added this knife to my CAMILLUS 72 variation collection. It's another POWR-KRAFT 84-11, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. It required some cleaning and it received some cleaning. I took a few pictures and here it is.
Very nice.....cleaned up really well!!

I'll sharpen it for you, but I don't give out band-aids!!

Yesterday a Schrade 863 I ordered finally came in. The scales are not cracked, blades are tight, no wobble with great snap on all blades, but does have some scratches & spots on the blade, with some past life sharpening issues it looks like. But It will clean up nice. A nice addition to my Camillus 72 clones.

I bid on it, but I didn't get it. I'm guessing these came from the last gasps of Camillus? I tried looking in the Camillus catalogs that are online, but I couldn't find it. I think the shield looks pretty neat.

I got that one TFL. It's actually my 2nd one. I've never looked for it in catalog's so I don't know when they were made. I have seen them with that shield in both stockman and 72 models. Sorry you didn't get it but they do show up with some frequency. I'll post pics when it gets here.

LOL - I'm glad you got it! I figured it was someone on here, that's one of the reasons I asked about it! Sorry I made you pay more for it!

Yeah, ME. Many thanks Tommy.
I'm guessing it was a SFO for someone. Kinda like the Ducks on the Water was for Sears at Christmas of 1991. I'm going with SMKW.

I found this posted to another forum:
Camillus Yello-Jaket Stockman. Made for Smoky Mountain Knife Works c.2002. They also made a whittler, trapper and small lockback with the same handle material, shield and blade etch. I believe Camillus owned 50% of SMKW at the time.
