All About Pocket Knives

It is fairly common knowledge that Camillus made a reproduction of George Washington's quill pen knife. I believe that they made their first reproduction in the 1930's and another one much later (1980's or 90's ?).

Until I got this one I never knew that Winchester also made one. I got it with the brochure and with a Winchester wrapper that has a blurb about the knife on one side.

I doubt there are many of those around with the packaging.

Pretty cool knife and looks new!

That's really cool Steve!

Awesome Steve!!!

You Lucky Man!

Steve,that’s cool,thanks for showing it. Believe that I have the Camillus one but with bail.No paperwork though,did the paperwork come with the Camillus ones as well. Will try to post pic later when can dig it out. Not very versed in Camillus dates/tangs mine is 3 lines and nothing underlined ,I think ?

Nice knife and ephemera Steve.

Robeson also made one.

Those are cool. I have 2 of the Camillus ones; holding one for my nephew who is a big G.W. fan. Nice to learn others made these too.
