After seeing some of the old camillus knives I thought I would dig out my one of grandpa's. He passed away in 1995 . I got because I wanted it because it was my grandpa's and no one else did . He was rough on it and he carried it a long time .

[carrmillus]

....that's a treasure, I would give anything to have the 2 my grandfather carried every day!!.......... ...................

[Lakelife]

thank you . I used to help my grandparents every weekend. Work on the little farm do what was planned for the day . In the summer time we fished on the des moines river St Franisville Mo. . Had fish baskets, trout lines and hoop nets in the Mississippi river . Spend all summer at their cabin on the Mississippi river at Keokuk Iowa .

..hardly a day ever passes that I don't think about my grandfather reaching in his pocket for his Camillus whittler or sunfish!!.............. ...................

Camillus hat trick day

Mailman dropped these off at lunch time. My main collecting focus is American made stockman but I have a second addiction now with almost any decent Camillus I can find.

The muskrat is unused and nearly perfect except for a tiny bit of rust and a blade centering issue.

I have to say that the equal end cigar moose impressed me more than I thought it would, excellent centering, perfect f&f, and it even has half stops. Perfect size for the watch pocket.

The 716 Yello-Jaket is just one sweet knife. Easy opening with incredibly smooth walk and rock solid lockup. Got the box and paper with a it but not the original sheath hopefully I can find one someday.

I have this Canoe.
Maybe someone can answer this for me. I dug my canoes out to post in the do you canoe post. I never notice before but the Camillus only uses 1 spring while my Case and Rough Riders use a spring for each blade. Was Camillus the only ones to do this?

[doglegg]

My Queen only has 1 spring.

tnorton, your Barlow pics are not showing.
Here is a Camillus 47, a 4 1/2" lockback Hunter. Is this a somewhat rare knife ? I used to have a very similar one marked "Buck", most likely also made by Camillus.

......I used to have one of those, but apparently someone has relieved me of it!!......... .................

[kootenay joe]

Carrmillus, is the 47 a fairly rare knife ? Valuable ? or not really ?

I added a couple of pictures to focus on the handles.

I noticed that the line is long but are those handles bone? Great looking knife.
