Hey folks,
As stated, new to vintage Camillus, and was wondering if I could get assistance in identifying this single blade.
4 1/8” closed, Delrin? Scales and looks like a gunstock frame to me. Non locking, can’t find much on it and was wondering timeframe availability as well, and if there are different model blades that will fit it.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hey…..
The tang stamp (double line) on your posted pocket knife, was
used by CAMILLUS from 1989, up until its bankruptcy in 2007.

Awesome, thank you for the info.
Haven’t seen a lot of the single bladed large folders, though I’m sure they were made by the thousands. Do you know if any other model blades will fit the frame?

Awesome…..
You’re welcome.
Sorry, I don’t know if a different blade would fit that frame.
Try finding the same pattern CAMILLUS, but not in the best of
condition, that still has a good blade, and use it on your knife.

Finally, after extensive research, I believe it’s a 717 single trapper, which makes it hard to find a blade or donor knife for…
So, she’s going to stay as is for the foresee able future. Appreciate the assistance, sir.
