They are Sweet!
I am the Hawk addict. I posted these back in the fall. Been collecting them since they could be had for a couple bucks each. My favorite pattern.

This just recently joined my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line tang stamp pocket knife (1946-1950). Surprisingly, it's the only #1 that I have.

Yesterday this arrived and it got added to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. This is NOT the same #1 that I posted back on June 5 (3 posts above this one). It's another CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line tang stamp pocket knife (1946-1950). Not the prettiest #1 that I've seen, but certainly not the ugliest #1 that I've seen either. It still has a lot of life left in it. It did need some cleaning, I did what I could. I took some pictures and here it is.

Another nice Shortline Camillus Hawkbill Skip. Cleaned up really well. The handles look really nice.

I've got one of those short line #1's too, Skip. The "1" stamp on mine looks like the one you posted on June 5th. Scares me a little to close it one handed with the liner lock and half stop. Large and sharp best describes this blade. ::nod::

Thanks, Skip! ::handshake:: It's got some blade stains but I don't think anyone ever sharpened it and the blade well is pretty clean.

I put a photo of this up in General Discussion, seems more fitting here.

Any idea about this knife?

Fantastic collection of a beautiful old pattern. ::woot:: ::woot:: ::woot:: As an aside, how much roughly would you be paying now if you come across one? :)
