Re: Camillus #23 with red bone covers
you did an excellent job on that 23. Any one here would be proud to have it in their pile.

Re: Camillus #23 with red bone covers
Thank you all for your comments.
I was really inspired by Mike's knife.Then when I saw the other knives I had to give it a try. Funny thing is I had never seen a Camillus #23 untill this post
I really like a big jack knife. This will be EDC for Christmas

Nice work Mike! It is easy for me to forget how beautiful well done smooth bone handles can be. Thanks for the reminder!

Re: Camillus #23 with red bone covers
Fabulous pair Jerry, man alive that one with jigged bone and the Tbird shield is the coolest knife I've seen for a while. Beautiful bone, sweet shield, great shape on the blades. Do you recall the bone color? That's killer bone. The yellow smooth bone is beautiful too. And great patch shield.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 12:33 pm The 23 is a great knife and a fine canvas for some custom work. I had this one done by Glenn for Tommy. That was back when Tommy still had his T-Bird.

That's another beauty Nev, love that bone color. Looks like an excellent job of putting her back together too. Looks factory stock only better bone that I ever see on these. Kudos to you for making the knife world a lot better looking.

Re: Camillus #23 with red bone covers
Great work Nev. I love mine, I’m not a big lover of two blade Jack knives in general. But the CASE Loomfixer and the Camillus 23 are the exceptions. It’s a great knife for a mod.
