Jerryd I knew you was just an old sentimentalist.

Quick Steel, very fine Stag on your Camillus 4 blade Utility. Camillus Custom Shop ? or after market re-handle ? Wallace Rockwell would know.

kj I suspect it is a rehandle but....Who is Wallace Rockwell?

Wallace went to work for Camillus in the 1970s, worked there 30+ years and was THE custom shop for Camillus. He does great work. I have a couple of 72s he rehandled for me, one in gold lip pearl, the other in pre-ban elephant ivory and they are out standing. I guess you could say that Wallace is to Camillus what Herman Williams is to Schrade.

Wallace also made many of the best Camillus fixed blades, like the Jerry Fisk knives, knives that still sell in the $300 - $400 range.

Here is a # 47, 4 7/8" all metal lockback. Hardly ever see this one. Does it have much collector value ?
The Buck 111 looks similar to this Camillus. If i can find my 111 i will post a picture for comparison.

........I used to have one of those, but now I can't put my finger on it!!.......someone must have liked it better than me!!,.... .......... I thought it was a neat looking knife!!!.............

Camillus Longhorn #47
Stainless Steel Lockblade and cast zinc handles designed by Steve Powers. Only 10,000 knives were made in 1981.

Vit., thanks ! Only 10,000 explains why they are not often seen. It could be a very usable knife, same size blade as a 5" LB but much more slender and light weight.
Even though almost rare collectors don't seem to have much interest in the metal handled knives.

Don't worry. You're catchin' on and it's no sin to not know what something means. We've all been there.

Camillus 75 Junior Cattle Knife, circa 1957. Great opening and closing snap, BROWNSTAG handles, original edges. A bit of peppering tarnish on the Sheepfoot and Pen blades. Been needing some older Camillus Cutlery knives - this one was a good one to start with. OH

Camillus #11 USWA
I assume that this knife was released on USWA 50th anniversary.

Vit_213. A very handsome knife indeed. Congrats.

Hey GUYS, Here is a Dandy & Rarely found in Minty as we know. Up for grabs,,PM me
Kind Regards,
Mark
