I think that when the war started, Camillus had brass and nickle-silver available to make their knives, but as the war drug on the brass and nickle-silver was needed for other things so they had to substitute steel as their parts got used up. That’s why these knives are a mix-match of metals.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2024 3:39 amAhhh.....I thought you meant that the whole knife was steel.
Thank you for clarifying.....

Obviously, more relics than knives.
