For Sale: 2 "Stainless Cutlery Co." Pen Knives

[kootenay joe]

If i were to start over as a knife collector i would focus on "Stainless Cutlery Co." knives. Made by Camillus in 1920's & '30's, i think they are the best pen knives Camillus ever made.
Both these knives are unused and very close to factory condition. All snaps are good and there is no blade play.
3 3/8" Senator pen knife, both blades marked "Stainless/CutleryCo/NewYorkCity". Beautiful bright knife.
3 1/8" Equal End Whittler, 2 blades marked as above, manicure blade tang is not marked, milled liners, pearl handle with a 'line' on front side at secondary end that i believe is part of the natural layering of the pearl rather than being a crack.
The light was fading as i took pics of this whittler and they make the knife look 'dull', which it is not.
Price for both $170 shipped.
If interested please send me a PM or email: rprocter@telus.net

Giving these a BUMP. They are very fine vintage Camillus knives, top examples.
I think my price is reasonable but am open to receiving offers.

I think I will take these two Roland. I keep going back to them - so....

O.K. Duncan. You will not be disappointed. The "Stainless Cutlery" knives are i think the very best knives that Camillus ever made and these 2 are beauties. I am very pleased that they will be going to you.

Thank you Roland my friend
New Zealand is going into stage 4 lockdown- No one goes down the road unless imediate shopping- which will be patrolled - no one allowed to go to work other than Fire, Police and Hospital staff - No schools - no non essential shops- only grocery stores etc open now- every single other business is to shut down i the next 48 hours, so I have been pretty busy and just made the payments to include shipping my friend.

Please- everyone- take the care to watch what you touch- then take even more care of your hands to your food and touching your face an everyday thing we do hundreds of times without noticing, it would be good to own a Country House somewhat isolated at this moment - because I would be there this minute!

The very best of thoughts and be friendly and positive at these time my friends!

Thank you for your 'Well Wishes' Duncan. It certainly is a strange and challenging time for all of us, worldwide.
These 2 knives are now SOLD.

Hey,

Guys I was admiring Rolands knives, which I do often, but specifically these 2. I have a few knives of the same brand and I agree that this line is the best Camillus ever made. I sold one of the pearl ones I had. a celluloid handled pen jus like Rolands here, a buddy broke the backspring ( still baffles me ) but I have another pen I would like to show y’all! I traded for these 2 knives and would like to trade them myself so if anyone is interested let me know? I’m gonna have trouble getting decent pics from f my knives for the next few weeks fellas. I was not in one but 2 again 2 car accidents last weekend. My truck and the womans car are both totalled and I’m banged up pretty good, but i lost a German eye stockman ( 3 eye 4in closed with plain shield yellow handles) that was one of my favs.... I lost my phone as well. I loved that knife!

The pearl is a Camillus knife made for Sears. "Sta-Sharp" was Sears top line of folding knives. Not actually a "Stainless Cutlery Co" knife but it is Stainless and made by Camillus likely about 10 years after the "Stainless Cutlery Co" knives.

Dang, Joe. If it weren't for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all! Be careful out there. Is your family OK?
