This is one you just cant turn down in a pawn shop for under $30. I forgot to scan it but it also had an original brown eight rivet sheath.

Nice;
Looks to be possibly a camillus aircrewmans survival knife circa 1956-1965. Carried one similar for 3 1/2 years.

Edit; whoops that may be a bit later possibly by ont.knife(late 80's)

Nice find. I really like the Cattaraugus "Commando" or Quartermaster knives. I have one that someone put an custom handle on. Sharpens like a razor.

A special issue made by Camillus. Part of the 'Aircraft of Vietnam' series. I carried one of the real ones in VN myself, which I got in a trade. (A .45 gov't for the knife and a .38 revolver) A fine carrying and using knife.

Another limited edition from Camillus. This one is part of a 3 knife series that featured knives that John Wayne might have used in his roles as a Military man, 'the Wayne at War series'. This one commemorated the movie 'the Flying Tigers'.
