All About Pocket Knives

Today I added this knife to my general CAMILLUS knife collection. It needed minor cleaning and it received it. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you Smitty. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is my only CAMILLUS pocket knife that has a tang stamp on each blade.

...the dash, dot, dash stamp on the secondary blade is the oldest stamp, I think????............ ..........

Thank you Tommy. According to the CAMILLUS tang stamp chart on AAPK, the three line arch stamp, or the "dash dot dash" tang stamp, is from circa 1902-1915.

.............right!!, I think I have 3 knives with that mark!!............ .............................

This is not my first CAMILLUS Eagle Scout pocket knife. However, it is my first CAMILLUS Eagle Scout pocket knife with the box. The knife is in near mint condition and needed no cleaning. The scissors appear to be dirty or rusty, they aren't. It's the lighting. The box is in excellent condition.

Sweeeeeet Smitty!

I couldn't resist the price, so I bought another CAMILLUS Eagle Scout, single blade, 2 tool, pocket knife. There is no box with this one. It didn't need any cleaning. I took a few pictures and here it is.

....never made it to "eagle", so I don't have one of these, but I still have my 1958 Camillus Army issue knife!!!............ ..................

I didn't make it to Eagle either. But I do like these little knives. I know it's been said more than a few times, but I'll say it again. I do wish that you could post pictures. Maybe some day........

...skip, I can type with one finger!!......don't even know how to answer the cell phone!!, but I can load my .44-40 HENRY blindfolded!!!............. ...........................

This one and the other Eagle Scout knife you posted are awesome.

I received this earlier in the week. Interesting story, I actually bought it from an Ebay store that deals mostly in ladies products and makeup. It was listed as a new vintage Camillus 3 blade knife at a BIN price that was way below what these have been going for. A Camillus #1047 Boy Scout 3 blade swell center whittler. The pictures show it just as I received it. The only thing I've done is oil the joints.

Great snag PB.

Thanks Carrmillus. I had asked the seller if she would check to make sure she didn't have the box. It was hard for me to believe someone had this in as good of condition without the box close by.
