Thanks Tommy

It probably did!!

Here's a four line, lockback, swing guard. 4 5/8" closed.

Beautiful knife, I almost bid on it. Glad you got it.

That one ought to be in a gamblers boot or a soiled doves garter. What a classy old knife. Thanks for sharing.

Ha Ha! Thanks doglegg.
It is a pretty neat old knife.

Really like the jigged bone on that one Joe

Here's an old palette knife.

Picked up this stockman, usually I don't care for synthetic handles but I like this one, well made knife that would make great carry knife.

Thanks to Knifeslinger I now have 3 new Camillus knives. Here is one of them a 23.

I really like that knife, Doug. You mentioned elsewhere that it's pretty plain to look at but I think it's a stunner. Gorgeous knife!

I also have Knifeslinger#81 to thank for a NOS Camillus 709Y Half-Congress. Beauty, eh?

Jerry, that is a beauty.
I've got a couple of those Yellow Jackets in different forms. They are nice knives.

Doug, you are going to love that 23. They are hell for stout.
I have two of them from different time periods. Muskrat Man recovered them for me.

Jerry, I've got one of those 709s in black.
Sweet little knife.

Yes sir. The 23 is a fine knife. Either in it's original state or as a canvas for modification.

Jerry all of those are great.

Jerry, those are fantastic! Especially that Marine Corp retirement knife. I remember when Glennbad posted pics of it after he completed it. I didn't realize it was yours. Hands down the best and most thoughtful mod I've ever seen.

After the discovery of NOS camillus at a local hardware store in my area, I made some impulsive purchases and have now developed more of an interest in camillus. They really did make some nice knives particularly in the pre delrin era but afterwards as well. Some of their delrin is among the nicest looking in the business. Plus, they did have an affiliation with schrade so maybe I can consider it an extension of my schrade collection...

Here are a couple I recently picked up . A 709 with jigged black bone which I think must have been part of a special edition from SMKW because the bone looks just like the old Smokey I have and two other 72's that they put out in the nineties.
Another recent pickup is this Colt .45 CCC Trapper. This is a great knife with bone handles that you can usually pick up for less than $50.
