All About Pocket Knives

Nice HOK, Phillip.

This single blade folder came in the mail yesterday. A nice companion for my "WHAT-A-KNIFE."

Rescued this 1047 from the post office yesterday.

Looks to be in good condition. Good catch.

Another day........another Camillus 1047.

Great! Between them there was another such version

I picked up this little dress knife today for a whole two bucks! The end of the file is squared off but other than that, it’s pretty...pretty!

I collect ALL patterns of Camillus knives. I concentrate mainly on #'s 72 & 1047, but I do have a small quantity of #14s.

...........small quantity??????......................... ................................

I've often looked in on this thread but never posted here. I've accumulated enough Camillus knives now that I can probably qualify as a Camillus collector. Here are a few of my Camillus knives...

I just bought my 15th Camillus 14 (3 or 4 of them have been given away). Your post prompted me to take a cruise on the Bay and lo & behold, there was a short line 14 with bone handles and a BIN price I just couldn't pass up. Poor pictures but it looks to be in fair decent condition for it's age. Plenty of rise on the back spring for both blades and no apparent active rust or bad pitting. The main blade does appear to be a touch short. We'll see when it gets here.

Seller's picture of course.

I saw that one and decided to leave it for you.
Nice group of Camillus knives Sasquach!

Why thank you kind sir. Very considerate of you.

Charlie is full of surprises.

The stag 23 got its scales via Muskrat Man. I included it in my EDC rotation.

Here are a few more Camillus knives I have hanging around with the canoes...

You don't just collect canoes....

Heretic! Heresy! Blasphemy! Betrayer!


I think you guys are getting to me now...

Ummmmmm.....are you okay there Willy? Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to ya......I also collect Sharpfingers......and this one fits this thread 'cause it's a Camillus.

The nice handle sets off your Sharpfinger. [I am optimistic you will soon show us some of your Samuri swords.]

Great looking knives, Sas!!!

I just got this gem in the mail yesterday, I think the correct pattern is "Sunfish." I knew she had scale issues, guess I need to find someone who can do a decent patch job. I would prefer this type of repair over a scale replacement, so anyone can DM me if they're up for the task.

Thanks for looking.

Actually I do have a couple of swords but none of the Samurai persuasion. If it can cut, chop, slice, hack, or poke holes in things I've probably got at least one example of it around here somewhere.
