Here is the latest; A Camillus Short-line # 1. This will be an EDC as it is good user shape but not a safe "queen"
The #1 with the liner lock is a great tool for around the shop or yard . Nice latest short line
Your handles look like these on this one when first received it. Cleaned up handle and now not so black and grimy. Are those covers black or?
And...
that is one beautiful #1 ! Oh and the #23 you posted has me looking for one now, I am a sucker for that clip blade with the long nick/pull

As posted on another thread, but requested here, this is a Camillus Scout Knife I got from Ray (one of our members) at a show he was at in Belton, TX. As you can see it has had some use and abuse, but I think it still has some life in it.

Have a short line Scribe it came with a little surface rust . Will clean it up later and put it in with the others after a little oil and Renaissance wax.
It’s held together with steel pins and has brass liners. Nice true half stop and almost full Scribe and don’t believe this one was used a lot . Another difference have noticed as get more into the Scribes is that Camillus has more of a tear drop shape and heavier than the New York knife Co. Scribes ,and believe better Quality . The frames and Scribe and Shank are thinner on the NYK s and first thought the frames from both companies are the same but don’t think so after looking at the ones here and a few others . Also as to the proper name for these Scribes there is some controversy . Some call them Race or Raze knifes . They are not a knife ,and some old time loggers that have talked to up North have said the term Raze in this case is from “erase” . The word got butchered over the years and got shorten to Raze. The Erase refers to when they used pencil or paint and a log thieve could erase that and put his mark on the logs in the holding pens waiting to be sent down River . No verification of this but find it interesting. So the Scriber would scribe deep marks so as not to be erased . So there’s a little info to go with a few pics . If anyone out there has any info on this subject and logging please send a pm or post here or in Timber Scribes thread if inclined.
Enjoy ,stay safe out there .

Another nice one you picked up JP. I have always heard them called timber scribes, and Race Knives. Most older carpenters I met over the years called them Timber Scribes, as they marked certain timber and lumber for particular placement as they cut them. Most old loggers and pulpwooders I have known called the Race or Raze knives. I always wondered if the "RAZE" was just an alternate pronunciation similar to how some older people I knew who used to pronounce the word sink as "Zink". Most old articles I've seen on them usually called them RACE Knives. Also thought you might find this interesting
