The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Addictive as potato chips I can’t stop at just one
That's my worry. I think I've fallen into another rabbit hole. Congratulations on your nice find!

The Postman dropped this one off today. Super pleased with it. A McGrew Knife Company Inc. pattern 72 clone made by Camillus. It is like new, with no use, and came in the original box with sleeve, insert and warranty paper. It has the underlined McGrew over Arkansas U.S.A. tang stamp, Delrin handles and federal shield with underlined "M". This is my third McGrew 72 clone, and my 2nd like new with the original box and papers. Here are the photos.

Very, very sweet Papa Bones. There is a McGrew with black bone handle. Keep a look out.
Thanks Floyd. Yes Sir saw the ones you and JP had posted, but I've not been able to come across one yet. I do have the yellow delrin version, but keeping my eyes open for a black handle. There's always one more to look out for.

Another great addition to the Collection Smitty . You’ve been hitting home runs lately !
Hey JP, appreciate the kind words. We have an old saying down here. "Even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally." Take care up there my friend!!

This Stanley came in the mail today. I paid $25.00 for it. What a bargain, still in the blister pack too. I have another one without packaging that I paid a lot more for. All in all I’m very happy!
