Camillus 17 No line

Post by doglegg »

Over on ebay right now is a Camillus 17 with a no line stamp up for bid. It is listed as 'Camillus No. 17 Jack Knife Vintage Bone Handles'. Not my knife but if I didn't already have one I would be after it. Just an FYI.

O.K., so this is a rather rare knife as well as being quite attractive.

Roland with it being a one year knife and the no line stamp it is rather rare but I doubt that translates into expensive. I gave $41 dollars including shipping for mine. But it is not as clean as this one.
