Need some help identifying this knife.

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Need some help identifying this knife.

Post by Chaser81 »

I need some help here. I think it is a camillus 77 but the tang stamp is gone, only the number 77 on the back side of the main blade. From my understanding the 77 is supposed to have three pins in the handle, this knife has just the rocker pin. Could it be an early production or not even a camillus? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sure looks like a Camillus 77 . As for only the one pin vs 3 pins in handles you mentioned different time periods for this. IIRC that is the case . Looks like Delrin covers , if so it’s probably a long line stamp that would’ve been on the main ? Hope this helps you some.
