I have my search engine set I am watching for them every day!

Greg, that's one outstanding and fantabulous Camillus family you have there, buddy. And now Tommy promises you he's going to dance nude at your next wedding. Jerry is right. You're one very lucky guy, my friend, But I don't envy you one bit, buddy.

Felix, while I'm certain that Tommy is 100% truthful, that's one promise he'll never have to keep because there won't be another wedding I do feel like a lucky guy though as I have found more friends than knives here on this site and I hope that continues. By the way you are in that count as well!

Same here, buddy. You betcha!

...I hope you know I was kidding about the dancing, greg!!...I don't dance, clothes or not!!.....and haven't in 60 years!!, but I wasn't kidding about the #5 Camillus!!.... ............

Wow! That was very generous Tommy! Very nice. I'm off to a trade day tomorrow. I'm keeping an eye peeled for Camillus 72's and 89's.

I sure wouldn't kick one out of the truck. Or an 863 either. Who knows I might even find one of them Cussin' and Ferns. Lol

...col., speaking of '89's, I've got a STAGLON 89(which dates it to the late 60's or early '70's), but it has a master blade stamped with the short-line mark(40's-'50's), never been able to figure that one out!!!???............... .................

The first mention of an 89 I could find in the catalogs I have access to was in 1972 as part of a new line with "Indian Stag" covers ("Staglon" was a Schrade name)

Hmmm. That's right interesting. I dearly love the Camillus 89 knives. Truth be told they're my favorite Camillus knife. Hard to come by around here.

I didn't see the first Camillus anything today. All I came home with is an old English machete and a fence stretcher.

..as usual, I was wrong about the "staglon" name, jerry, but I still can't figure out how it can have that tang stamp, unless the blade was broken and replaced with an earlier blade???........ ................

...col., I just opened up my Camillus store display, and I found a #89 I didn't realize I had. it has the correct long-line stamp and appears to be in good shape. if you are interested, let me know!!.... .........

Three more added to the fold!

That's a fine trio of 72's Greg! That #5 really stands out with those brass bolsters.

Good lookin' Kon-Kav. Is the condition as good as it looks in the picture?

It is Jerryd. There is a slight blade rub just above the kon-Kav etch but other than that it's perfect.

Very nice, Greg! I see you got yourself a Schrade Walden 863. Are those scales black dyed bone? Sweet!

This one popped up on the bay this morning for any interested parties.

I'm already cringing at what I anticipate the final price will be...

It's a beautiful knife, I have little doubt it'll be worth what it fetches.

Tony that etch on the master is areal piece of artistry.

I put in a $61 bid and it didn't even put a dent in the listing.

I am definitely going to have to adjust my perspective if I want this knife.

Let the nuttiness begin!

There's always the one ditwtexas has had listed forever for $279.99 OBO
