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.

Was recently able to purchase this fabulous Schrade 863 KON-KAV blade etched with bone handles. I had been on the hunt for sometime. This one is immaculate. What a great friend to sell it to me. If I sound excited about it I am. Thanks for looking. DSCN7296.JPGDSCN7297.JPGDSCN7298.JPGDSCN7299.JPGDSCN7300.JPGDSCN7301.JPGDSCN7302.JPGDSCN7303.JPG
Would be excited as well
That frame with that bone and etched main are just a perfect combination
Floyd that’s just Beautiful .
This CAMILLUS "72" variation/clone arrived yesterday afternoon and became the latest pocket knife to join my collection and this topic or thread. It is another Ulster 63, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, 2 tang stamps, "whittler" pocket knife. This is my thirteenth "63", but it is my first "63" with "Ulster" on the shield. It needed some cleaning. I did what I could, took some pictures and here it is.

Skip I would say your knife was made before 1959-60.It has the pins in the bolster.
The couple of Ulster I have where made with the Swinden System ( 1959-60 onwards ) made in the Schrade factory.
I do have a Craftsman made later in the Imperial side of the factory with pins in the bolsters.

What a nice Craftsman / Imperial you have with Etch . Wasn’t aware of the one with the Craftsman etch. Thanks for posting that one
Have this Craftsman 9494 ,been used a bit but still solid and all blades function properly. And the Hollinger Fremont knife in solid shape and will clean it lightly .
Skip that Ulster with Ulster shield is a dandy ,great piece

This "72" clone came in the mail today. It was sent to me by Reverand as a Bomb! Thanks Reverand! I'm sure its a Camillus 72 but the shield is a McGrew. It has a Western tang stamp instead of the McGrew stamp. The pile side is marked stainless W742. Awesome I'm going to put and edge on it and let it ride in my pocket for awhile! Thanks again Reverand!
Thank you Grant.
That CRAFTSMAN is a FINE lking pocket knife. ::

What.....
Thank you JP.
You've been on a roll lately!
A couple of VERY nice acquisitions.

Picked this Cheapie up as a project knife. A Camillus long line tang stamp 1047 BSA Whittler. Blades have great snap, no wobble but do have wear. The handles have shrinkage, and are missing the round BSA Shield. Thought this would make a good project knife to clean up the blades & re-handle for a decent EDC. Now to figure what material handles I want to use.

Picked.....
Nice one to fix up Smitty.
I have no suggestions for handle material.
For a shield, how about the bottom of a spent cartridge?
If I remember correctly, a 9MM fits into the vacant spot.

Appreciate it Skip. A 9mm base does fit. Not sure what I will go with yet. Probably make a decision after I decide on the handle material.

I picked up this one at a gunshow yesterday. Rigid RG70, SS, USA. It has been used and sharpened, but is in good shape. I also saw a knife dealer who had a sign on his table that said "Caution, knives are sharp. If you handle one and cut yourself, you are required to buy it as it is contaminated". ?????
