I made a "best offer" tonight and purchased this pocket knife. It's a Camillus (pre pattern "72"), split spring, whittler pocket knife. All 3 blades have the 4 line tang stamp. When it arrives, I'll give it the once over. I'll take and post some pictures. Here it is.
If you have a CAMILLUS, split spring whittler, please post it.

Thank you ALL for the compliment(s) and comments. There are too many comments to address individually. When I receive the knife, I'll clean it if and where necessary. Then, I'll take some pictures of it and post them. I normally would've said that the pictures that I originally posted were the "seller's" pictures, but that seems to freak some people out.

...LOVE IT!!!!...I have 1 like it and 3 of the "72" pattern split-spring whittlers, the are way and beyond my favorite knives!!!..... .............

Tommy, you might be interested in knowing that this knife is coming from a gentleman in Oxford, Mississippi. Here is an email he sent me. It's been edited down for the pertinent information only.

"Skip,
Thanks for recognizing a fine and rare knife. You will enjoy being its new owner.
I bought this knife from Lynn Hester of Tupelo MS. No idea where he got it; Lynn is known as the "knife man" in his town.
I enclosed a note of thanks in the box with the knife. The box will be shipped tomorrow, so you should receive it very soon.
Thanks again."

Small world isn't it Tommy.

...thanks for the info, i'll be sure to look for him at the next knife show here(march, I think), I may have run into him before and just didn't know his name................ ..........

This Camillus, split spring, whittler pocket knife arrived today. All blades have the 4 line tang stamp. It measures 3 5/16 inches closed. It does NOT have a swelled center. All 3 blades have great snap. ALL 3 blades have no wobble. The main blade has no half stop. The other two blades have half stop. I gave it a very mild once over, took some pictures and here it is.

Skip that is a very sweet old knife. A great pick up. Congrats.

Just in case someone doesn't know what an Argus C-3 is..............

"The Argus C3 was a low-priced rangefinder camera mass-produced from 1939 to 1966 by Argus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. The camera sold about 2 million units, making it one of the most popular cameras in history. Due to its shape, size, and weight, it is commonly referred to as "The Brick" by photographers (in Japan its nickname translates as "The Lunchbox"). The most famous 20th-century photographer who used it was Tony Vaccaro, who employed this model during World War II."

...hey, that's it, except mine has the light meter mounted on top, so it may be an LC-3!!..i'll have to get on the ladder to see for sure(wife forbids me from getting on the ladder anymore)........... ............

This afternoon, this beauty arrived. It will make a wonderful addition to my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. It needed very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

Skip, that one is nothin' but nice. I have quite a few tip bolster knives, but not a tip bolster whittler.

Sweet and fancy.

This is only my second CAMILLUS, "true" whittler pocket knife.
Both are COMPLETELY different from each other.
