All About Pocket Knives

I've had a two Camillus knives for many years and recently added 2 more...

The Peanut model 710 has traveled in my pocket for many miles and served me really well, when I need a small, discreet pocket knife. Next, I've had a model 26, two blade large hunter that has been my companion on many a hunting trip and did a great job field dressing big game animals. More recently, I found and bought a model 6, single blade Hunter that was new, unused but no box. I got it as a back up to the 26. Also recently, I found a new model 886 large Hunter Lock-back, that is master blade etched as North American Fishing Club charter member, which is related to a Rapala fishing club. Just couldn't pass it up.

......checksix, welcome to aapk!!... .........I like all of your Camillus knives, but the #26 is the prize!!....I bought mine in 1976, and I would hate to see all the fish I've cleaned with it piled in one spot!!...you can't beat 'em!!!.... ............

Thanks for the Welcome!

Ya, the 26 has been a beast! Never thought to use it for filleting fish?!? Huh! I use my fish fillet knives. It HAS cleaned a truck load of deer though.

.....I finally retired it from fish cleaning when one of my fishing buddies gave me a 4" rapala fillet knife!!............ .......................

Very nice. I sure do like those old Camillus.

The 6and the 26 are great looking knives.

Any guess as to the approximate age of that 710?

I bought it new back in '99 or 2000.... but don't know how long the store sat on it prior to me taking it home.
