My grandfather handed down several knives and one of them is a Camillus 4 blade pocket knife and on the blades it has the two digit code of 91. Can anyone tell me anything about this knife? Thanks in advance for your time.

Howdy dldeel,
I have a 4 blade Camillus knife marked 91 also. It is commonly referred to as a Congress pattern. The one I have has Bone handles and is probably from around the 40's and 50's.
If you could upload a photo of your knife, you would get more information about it.

Welcome to AAPK. Although you can't always depend on tang stamps to accurately date a Camillus knife, a good clear picture of the tang stamp will help get us in the neighborhood of the knife's age.

The 91 Congress was in the 1946 catalog and still in the 1984 Catalog but was gone from the 1990 and later catalogs.
