Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

[GSPTOPDOG]

Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? I wore a mask, stayed 6' away and I still got it. Here are a #1 and #5 (I have posted them before). I got the fever and I am always looking for a Camillus "Short-Line" when out knife hunting. This tang stamp was used by Camillus from 1946 to 1950. I have a couple and I am always looking for more... however the "Short-Line" has been a elusive one for me to find. Anyone out there having better luck?

Nice, GSP.

Probably no loss of smell either.

[Colonel26]

Very cool! I have a few and they’re really nice. But I agree, they aren’t nearly as plentiful as the long lines.

[jerryd6818]

Patience grasshopper. They're out there.

I have a short line 23.

And I have a "No Line" Camillus Fish Knife.

And a short line 33 EZ Open

And of course there are the 72's

I also have this Bone 2nd Gen Short Line 72.

And then there's this short line 1047 Scout Knife with bone handles.

I am afraid I have an advanced case. Oh to find short line bone. But no line has me hooked to. Glad I have company

I have a short line 23.

And it's a very nice one! The 23 is one of those that speaks to me; I find it to be exceptionally good-looking. I'd be happy with a decent one regardless of length, number, or lack of lines.

GSPTOPDOG, I apologize for hijacking your thread.

The 23 is a great canvas for customization.

Nice short line's everyone, they are not easy to find.

Going through my pictures found this one of 3 stockman's. a short line on top and 2 long line, all in bone.

[JohnR]

And a short line easy open.

Nice bone on all of those John , there’s something about bone and pocketknives.
Really nice EO

Here's a short line 23.
The 23 is a fine pattern, especially in the short line version with the swedge.

Muskrat Man put the smooth bone on it for me. I like it.

I'm enjoying the show.

A great looking bunch of knives.

Great thread!

Really nice with that smooth bone Joe.

Here are a couple of 23's that I rehandled back when I was getting started on knife restoration. I have to be honest - I didn't even realize until now that these 2 were "short-liners".

[doglegg]

Sure some wonderful knives here. Thanks for sharing.

[JohnR]

Short line 91 Congress.

[Dan In MI]

Very nice, Herb and John!

[FRJ]

Thank you, John.

Nice 23s Herb.

Honkin' Congress, John.

[doglegg]

A few more.

[Dan In MI]

A few more.

The one with the bow-tie shield looks like a 23. Am I correct?
