All About Pocket Knives

I have a old camillus coke bottle it looks pretty good it was my great grandfathers I don't know how old it is

Knife is not really a coke bottle pattern, it's a pattern called a swell center or balloon pattern (because the bolsters resemble old hot air balloons). This is the Camillus 72 pattern (it's probably marked "72" on the back). Most of the time when you see a balloon pattern it will be a whittler and many folks will call this knife a whittler.

If you can describe (or supply a picture of) the tang stamping you can get an idea of the age of the knife. Just from looking I would say 1940's thru 1960's, but the tang stamping would tell the tale.
