It's another CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, tip bolsters, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. I gave the blades a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Ripster wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:46 am Finally got a Whittler made by Camillus with the split or wedge in the back springs. They were in a lot that had won and they are part of the reason for buying the lot which I usually don’t do. Wasn’t any pics of back springs so wow, what a surprise. One is a sword brand stamped main and 4 line stamp on the other 2 . Brass liners wedge and pins with half stop on the small clip and pen . The 4 line has the milled steel liners, pins ,wedge,shield. Also half stops on the small clip and pen. No model # on either. They are both 3 and 5/8 inches long with swell center. Will be toting these for a few ,they have strong snap yet all the way around. Even with the use they have had they are solid knives,very well built.

Awesome find JP. Beautiful knives especially for their age. The black handles were Model 248. There was also a Stag handle version that was Model 247. Two very nice additions to your Camillus / Sword Brand family.

It is the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general CAMILLUS collection. It is a CAMILLUS, three blades (one has a file), 3 5/16" closed, one tang stamp, milled liners, "split spring", whittler pocket knife. Only the main blade has a tang stamp. It is a four line tang stamp. It says "CAMILLUS (over) CUTLERY CO. (over) CAMILLUS N.Y. (over) U.S.A." If there were tang stamps on the other two blades, they are not there now. Overall, I'd say that this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. All three blades have good snap. ALL three blades have no wobble. The main blade has no half stop. The other two blades have good half stops. I gave it a minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

I know it's NOT a true split spring.
You go right ahead and call it a "split back whittler."
