I have this unfinished fixed blade from the Camillus factory. I think it was a bin knife when they closed. I have no way to finish it and I have no idea if it's worth the effort. Any Ideas?

I have finished several of them that were already ground.
That one looks like it needs to be ground yet.
If you can find someone to do that, you will have a great knife.

It needs to be ground for sure. It looks like it would be a nice litte (7") knife once I Get Er Done

The specs for the Schrade Sharpfinger was 7-1/4".
I am sure the Camillus was the same since Camillus probably made blanks for Schrade of the Sharpfinger.
Camillus made a lot of the blades for Schrade and even complete knives after Albert Baer owned both companies.
I think the whole Gran'pa series were knives that Camillus made for Schrade, with the exception of the lockback. That is a Camillus frame and not an LB7 frame.

It's 7-1/4" I just took a guess
Now I actually measured it

When people look at my display it shows the parts you need to assemble a fit blade knife.
