Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Very nice group of short line 72 s !!
They all have the federal shield . Now if you could find one without the shield that would top your group off very nicely . They seem harder to find these days . And when you do it is a knife other than bone handles!
Really good to see you back ! The Camillus section was getting a little dusty from being inactive so long. And you polished it up with all your excellent purchases and posts.
Thanks J.P. You stay warm up that way. Some of the cold air filtered down here last night. Got down to 16 on my hill.
