Hi.....

Nice acquisition, Tom.

Thanks Skip! George Washington's EDC!

Oh Wow! A George Washington knife! Now that's cool!

Camillus made three versions of the George Washington knife. The first one was offered in 1932, the second version was a smaller knife sold at the 1939 World's Fair and the third version was introduced in the 1990's.
It seems to me that you have the second version, but I could be wrong. What closed size is your knife?

What size was the 1932 piece?

I don’t know because I’ve never seen him. However, the information that the first version was the closest to the original was deposited in my head (unfortunately I do not remember the source of this information). So, since the original G.W. knife is 3 inches closed size, the first version is probably close to this.
By the way, I remembered another feature for identification - only the second version (1939) had a bail.

It seems the one made by Robeson in 1932 is the closest to the original. But I may be mistaken.

Yes it is

My Camillus 67 stockman, a nice substantial stockman. The clip blade was re-profiled before I got ahold of it.

Camillus 21 pony jack, fits in a coin pocket.

They both get some pocket time with me. Camillus is over represented in my recent vintage finds. I had never heard of that cutler until I picked up a Camillus straight razor, then promptly found a couple Camillus marlinspike knives and bought the usable one.

A Camillus 2 maize knife would be perfect. I figure that I will have to get back to the corn belt of my youth to find one. There is a chance that the maize knife found a use out here in the Pacific NW.

I'm rather fond of my Camillus hawksbill pruner. Plenty of orchardry in these parts.

So how many Camillus knives do you need to have to qualify as a Camillus collector??? I think I may be a closet Camillus collector.
