Cool, now you need to find a bolsterless version, I have both. Good find, way to go. Edit: Here are the two models: #695 above, #697 below.
Hmmm ::hmm:: now I am on the hunt for the #695, ::paranoid::

A couple of nice pieces. Like your “ short line fever “ term,it is catchy . And the short line is harder to find ! But they’re not all in collections,it’s part of the hunt and fun . Good hunting !

That was the first one without bolsters I ever saw for sale so I grabbed it quick, and it is virtually identical to the bolsterless Buck #315 Yachtsman, (made by Camillus), but with serrated blade. Just keep looking, one will appear eventually.

You did do good, I can't see every listing, (though I wish I could), so I'm glad "one of us" noticed it.

This afternoon I added this to my "general" CAMILLUS cutlery collection. It's a CAMILLUS 23, 2 blade pocket knife. It came with the original box and paperwork. It is in NEAR MINT condition and required no cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.
