We wouldn't even need a wall, just the 6th Armored Division.

Roland I think your knife is outstanding but might suffer in value simply because of the pattern and handle material. The whittler is a very popular pattern and a specialty type jack might not appeal to as many folks.
I do believe that the prices of vintage Camillus knives is starting to catch up a bit with the other brands.
There was a Ebony Gunstock jack tha recently sold and almost broke the $400 mark but it was not nearly as nice as yours.

Greg , 2 and a half years later wonder what you think now .
Camillus knives I believe have gone up considerably in the last few years . Espically the pre 1960 s and older .
As to the Pearl, don’t care for it on a User . Sure is pretty though ,maybe a pearl neck lace with a neck knife around a beautiful lady
Happy Holidays to all .

Jp I actually wound up winning that pearl whittler and still have it. It's probably my most prized Camillus. I doubt that I could get what I paid for it today but it's not for sale anyway so I'll never know. I do think that older Camillus knives have gained some ground on the other brands though if the condition is very good.

Always thought it was strange that on this model, one side of the main blade has a saber grind, while the other side is flat ground. Seems odd.

This one was made between 1915-18. It has the full saber grind on both sides.

Greg. You mention these dates . And you still have the knife. Could you share what tells you those dates . Is it a 3 line main with arched secondaries?
Most Beautiful Camillus Whittler I’ve ever seen . Did you post any pics after you received it ?

[gsmith7158]

Jp I have since suspected that the knife may be pre !915 because of the curved stamp on one of the secondaries. Goins states that Camillus used a curved stamp from 1902-1915. I'll throw a few pics on here. Tell me what you think.

I think it's beautiful, Greg.

Thanks Joe! It is a favorite of mine.

Have to agree with Joe, it’s Beautiful !!!
1902 to 1915 would be a educated guess , a little beyond my knowledge of old Camillus knives .
That’s a piece that would be at the top of any Camillus Collection. Thanks for showing it to us Greg .

Greg, I'm impressed with that knife every time I see it.
