E- Toe

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

E- Toe

Post by stockman »

Nice old knife. I like the swedge on the knife, and the bone. Steel bolsters, 4 1/4" closed.
Pictures should enlarge.

Sorry Joe it is a Camillus. Older around WW2 I would think.

That is one very cool knife! I know each knife pattern originally had a purpose to the pattern and blade designs included with the pattern - what was the original design intent of an Elephant Toe pocketknife?
