Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Got this one in the mail today to add to my Camillus Family. A Camillus 4 line tang stamp, Large Swell end Jack, with Jumbo Shield. It has Tip bolsters on the rear, with standard style bolsters on the front. It has metal liners with a brass blade separator. It has black composite handles and is 4-3/8 inch closed. The knife has been cleaned, but not a good job. The blade wells are dirty inside, and blades although having snap are sluggish and feel gritty when opening. I've already started doing the usual warm mineral oil bath, exercising the blades and a lot of black oil coming from between the springs and blades. Will let it soak overnight and do some cleaning tomorrow. From what I've been able to research, this one is pre 1940. Some of the other knife forums consensus is around 1938.

That is something you don't see anymore, a ruler that the actual measurement starts from the end of the ruler, and not in about an eight of an inch. Much easier to measure with.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 10:58 pm Got this one in the mail today to add to my Camillus Family.

Marco, Congratulations on your sleek pick-ups. The Al Mars may have been the best manufactured knives of their generation. I am not optimistic about the brand's move toChina. I have the QuickSilver with the bail/latch which covers the blade tip. But there are no numbers on my blade.

Thanks J.P.! The all-metal body is what attracted me to the Quicksilvers, but once I handled it, it's overall feel and appearance, was what got me.
