ANY OTHERS?

Did Camillus make any other steel handle knives of this type or were there other patterns? If so, what were they called? I have mint military, the two Dira-Tools on sides, and What-A-Knife on bottom. All are unused, un sharpened and not carried. If others are out there, I’d like to get them. Thanks. I have many Camillus with bone and some with Delrin handles, but obviously, I’d never be able to have a complete set of those.
Thanks.

One time on eBay, I do recall seeing one sold with blade, saw, and Phillips. Only one I have ever seen. Must have been a parts bin special, end-of-days, or threw together with surplus parts by a third party post-2008. Maybe even a prototype, but I highly doubt it.

Thanks Cody. I’d be interested to find it BUT only if it’s a Camillus and not a Frankenknife.
I’ve looked for years and these are the only Camillus I’ve seen of this style. Not pretty but ya can’t kill them.

Camillus did make a number of the Dura tool knives with red white and blue paint on them. Kind of a flag motif paint job.

I have the full set. I think. I’ll look later to see what you are missing. The painted flag ones I think were all made after 9/11 for a year or so.

Thanks for the info. I’d like to find the painted ones, but hard to do a search if ya don’t know what they’re called. I’ll try a search for painted dura tool. Thanks again. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know about the other “military” ones? USAF USMC USN and a small font usmc? There is also a flag US and a desert sand US. Also one stamped NAHC Those are all the 4 blade camp knives.

These are not marked with any manufacturer but they sure seem like Camillus . They are however marked CHINA. ::facepalm::

Nice ! In addition to the flags, I’ve never seen any marked USN or USAF. I will have to keep my eyes open for them. Thanks everyone !

There were /are other manufacturers. Although nobody makes a high quality one right now.

Eveled. Camillus made more knives for others than they did under their own label. Those appear to be Camillus for sure.

I’ve never seen one like it. So my guess is it was pieces together. But I could be wrong

I’ve been told the What-A-Knife were sold by a company that made the What-A-Saw

I found one on sale now at E-Bay. But as much as I value Camillus, I think this is either extremely rare or way overpriced.

Oscar in your picture your 4 blade knife looks like it has a grind line. Are you sure it’s a Camillus? The only one I have like that is a Western.

Are you limiting yourself to just Camillus?

Eveled...
Mine has a Camillus tang stamp so I guess it’s a Camillus. While I don’t limit my collection to the one brand, I have been a long time Camillus fan. Did you see this?

I did see that. He’s mighty proud of it. It is the complete package.

It kind of bothered me when I realized they came out after 9/11. Like Camillus was cashing in on the attack. There were flags everywhere for a year or so.

You are off to a good start. Happy hunting. If you come across one I don’t have. Please let me know.
