Can’t find it anywhere thanks

Nice knife!

Awesome. Thanks!

Folding hunter, or large coke bottle jack. For a good reference see: https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... ence-guide Although the knives shown are Case, with few exceptions (patterns exclusive to Case) the pattern names are generally universal.

Thanks Ken. I was thinking there may be a Camillus specific name, but given the age I suppose not. I've been able to find out some more info based on your response, so thank you much.

Looks like you can differentiate based on tang stamp; 3 line vs 4 line

The Camillus name for that knife was "Forest King", I have one with that etched on the blade as shown in the catalog picture above. I don't know if the Catt "King of the Woods" was first or Camillus needed a name for theirs and came up with the similar "Forest King".

I noticed Forest King on the blade shown in that old advert. Very cool you’ve got one with that.

Your blade has the etching too of course, zoomed in on it and it seems to start reading FORE.... but then it trails off a bit.
Kool that it still has some of the original etch .

Coffin Jack

Sweet folding Hunter. Probably a 4 line stamp, the "U.S.A." might have rubbed off with opening. I see part of the Forest King etch.

Sorry but the OP knife is a coke bottle. Here’s a couple of examples of coffin jacks. (And a coffin to demonstrate why they’re called as such).
