All About Pocket Knives

Which Camillus knife would you most like to be able to add to your collection right now?

For me it would be a mint condition, NIB, 3 blade Cub Scout (with a whole bunch of others yapping at it's heels )

For me it was a NIB American Wildlife jumbo trapper. I bought one of the Whitetail versions from The Dandy Knife store here at AAPK a couple of weeks ago, got it in the mail this past weekend, that knife is huge! Like you, I would like to add a nice (99%+) Cub Scout knife.

these are two of my favorites the one on the right will never be used until my Grand son get in scouts.The one on the left I still use holds a great edge and is tight

My favorites are the WWII era patterns with Rogers bone handles.

garddog......you know what I am talking about......Now I just have to figure a way to make you believe I am your grandson..

Dale, I love them too...I really like this pattern and I would be hard put to choose between a nice WWII vintage with the Rogers bone scales and a mint NIB cub scout....

garddogg, nice "teaser" picture - just what I am looking for.

Old Hunter; I know what ya mean but I can't ask for a better pair for grandpa and grand son to learn to handle and whittle with The one on the left lasted thru my four boys TOUGH knife I've seen that knife tied to a stick for frog hunting

The one on the left lasted thru my four boys TOUGH knife

That is a quality I very much like in a knife. I have some collectables that are also just stored, but by en large my knives work - to my mind that is what they were designed for and just having them sit in a cabinet or display is sad in a way....

Smokepole;We all have some safequeens but I buy'em to use'em matter of fact most of the safequeens I have were willed to me I can't afford to buy new safequeens the art of knives is the way they wear when they are used that is where the story comes from I take a lot of pride that my FOUR boys used this knife.

I take a lot of pride that my FOUR boys used this knife.

And so you should.

Very nice knives and post, garddogg.
Here's a Camillus I've had since January, 91. I sure like it.

FRJ - those Yellow Jakets are really nice - and on my wish list too! That is a fine looking knife.

Thanx FRJ + Smokepole;and I'll tell ya I am on the hunt for one of those yellow jackets

Thanks guys.
My understanding is that there aren't too many around.
I think Camillus had problems with the two blade lock up.
I've never seen one on e-bay.

Yea I know,or anywhere else

I have a double lock in the cartrage series, the 30-06 Springfield.
It works really well. A buddy of mine wants it really bad.

Dale, why are your pictures so... strange?

???

These are taken on a flat bed scanner.
It gives a good straight on perspective of the knife at little or no angle.

Thank you. Do you understand my question
Sorry for my english

That is OK Vit.
Your English is far better than my Russian!
Did I answer your question?

Yes!

But it gives a wrong color on the metal surfaces.

Very true Vit.
But it does give a better view of all the parts from a 90 degree angle.
Depending on the perspective of the camera it can make a blade look longer or shorter.
For this reason I prefer the scanner, but I use a camera too sometimes.

A buddy of mine wants it really bad.

Scanner or camera, I'm with your buddy on this one. Very nice and one of my favorite calibers!
