All About Pocket Knives

Nice find!

Really nice knife, I like it a lot

That is a beauty, no doubt!
The arched tang stamp dates it to around WWI according to Tom Williams who was the Company Historian for Camillus Cutlery Co.
According to John Goins, (Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings) that could date back as far as 1902 and as late as about 1915.

A great find and in good condition as well.

Thanks for sharing!

That's definitely a beauty! Love those old ones with the wood handles and the half stops.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice knife. I have one almost exactly like it except that mine doesn't have the curved "Camillus" marking on the secondary. That curved marking is definitely an added plus ("added plus" is that redundant?) in my mind.

That knife has so many pluses that I think added plus makes perfect sense.

Nice wood handles. Blades have been sharpened with a lil loss, but I guess ya kinda gotta expect that on a knife this old. All in all in very good condition.

Why can't I admire a knife without wishing I had one?
I must not covet my neighbour's knife.

Great old knife.

Stunning old knife - great find!
Edgewise, I am the same, but I reckon me wanting it is just an expression of how much I can appreciate it and I don't wish for me to have it instead of it's owner - I'd just love to have one just like it....

now that is a knife.
