Three Camillus Pocket Knives

Post by tjmurphy »

I just bought three Camillus pocket knives on ebay,

I purchased mainly for the TL-29 with four-line stamp

Not exactly sure what the other two are, stamp-wise, but the bottom knife looks to be a Sword Brand with bone handles. The top knife ?? with black composite handles??

Hey John, not sure, don't have it in hand yet, but it looks like rosewood or cocobolo to me. I do have a TL-29 with Rogers Bone handles, had it a little less than a year now.

It will be interesting to see what the other two are. The pen appears to be a Sword Brand which means it probably has the four-line stamp also, and it appears to be bone handles, though they look kinda of funny to me. Don't have a clue about the black handled one on top(??), crappy seller's pics. I bought the TL-29 and the other two are bonus. Guess I'll find out in a couple of days.
