All About Pocket Knives

I picked up this Camillus today, solid old knife. I haven't seen this style Camillus before, anyone have any history on the production of this knife. ~jon

Great old knife

Beautiful!

Great old knife Mr. Jporter. And older one as well. Love the pattern and love that knife. Great pick up.

That's a sweet knife, pattern is called a "wharncliff whittler" and is one of the more sought after patterns by any company. Better close-up photos of the main blade and small blade marks would help narrow down a date. Definitely pre WW2.

Yes, that one is a dandy!!

Nice knife, Jporter! The bone looks really good and the blades almost full. I do not know much about Camillus so I have no history to post.

Awesome wharncliffe and lovely bone ... Early Camillus knives in my opinion were no doubt some of the best ...

Now thats a knife

Thanks for sharing everybody, I cannot believe that there's such a great bunch of guys on here. I want to thank the guys who are looking to try to help me find future knives for my knife collecting endeavors. The knife is a Camillus cutlery company Camillus new york and all blades are stamped. These new pictures could be better, but I'm stretched out in the recliner goldrush/moonshiners Friday night. ~Jon

Looks like the four line stamp on all 3 blades. That would put it between 1919-1941. What a great knife!

Being a four line + wharncliff whittler + beautiful bone = great knife.

I thought I had posted to this thread yesterday, I must have erased it when I was wiping the drool off my phone!

It baffles me how a company that made that knife gets so little respect among some collectors!

That one is as good as they come.

And why they didn’t make more of that pattern!

Jporter you have a great example of a great knife! Wow!

All I can say is wow. That is a fantastic find. Now have to clean drool off of my keyboard too.

Oh my, that is a humdinger! What a beautiful knife!

.....if you ever want ot sell it, i'll buy it!!!............. ......................

Very very very nice!

Me To ! Very Nice jporter K.C.

Camillus has always been under-rated and unappreciated and they made great knives, both with their name and many, many contracted brands.
