A Camillus 64 that I found at a flea market along with the PAL that I posted in that Forum. Hard to see the 64, I know, because of rust, but it's there.
Thanks for looking.

PringleTree,
This old Camillus and the Pal in the other thread are great knives to bring back to life.
Not trying to make them perfect again but cleaned up, hopefully restoring the walk and talk with a sharp blade gives me a lot of satisfaction when I run across knives like these.

Yessir, I agree. Thanks for the encouragement. These two will no doubt always have the "character" that time and use gave to them, but hopefully I can put that rust to bed.

Nice Camillus! It should clean up real nice. I have found that
using 0000 steel wool and WD 40 helps clean up the tang stamp
well. It might take 2 tries. It does not damage the steel or
take much metal off but cleans up the cleavages well so you
can make your reading much better.
