They are Sweet!
I am the Hawk addict. I posted these back in the fall. Been collecting them since they could be had for a couple bucks each. My favorite pattern.

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
This just recently joined my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line tang stamp pocket knife (1946-1950). Surprisingly, it's the only #1 that I have.

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
Yesterday this arrived and it got added to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. This is NOT the same #1 that I posted back on June 5 (3 posts above this one). It's another CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line tang stamp pocket knife (1946-1950). Not the prettiest #1 that I've seen, but certainly not the ugliest #1 that I've seen either. It still has a lot of life left in it. It did need some cleaning, I did what I could. I took some pictures and here it is.

Another nice Shortline Camillus Hawkbill Skip. Cleaned up really well. The handles look really nice.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 4:58 pm Yesterday this arrived and it got added to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection.

I've got one of those short line #1's too, Skip. The "1" stamp on mine looks like the one you posted on June 5th. Scares me a little to close it one handed with the liner lock and half stop. Large and sharp best describes this blade.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thanks, Skip! It's got some blade stains but I don't think anyone ever sharpened it and the blade well is pretty clean.

One more rusty find. After cleaning tang stamp is visible. Something like marx solingen.
Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
A very sweet old knife. Great blade.

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
I put a photo of this up in General Discussion, seems more fitting here.
Any idea about this knife?

Fantastic collection of a beautiful old pattern. As an aside, how much roughly would you be paying now if you come across one?Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 1:29 am They are Sweet!

Re: Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives
Welcome back, Hugh_Glass. That's a pretty wild looking knife/pruning tool.
