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.

Dog and Smitty, y’all sure are showing some nice ones.
Dog, those off brand knives (as in brands you don’t actively go after) will pile up on ya without you even realizing it! Looks like you’re well on your way to being a Camillus collector!
I don't know what has happened to me I have a Short-Line coming in the mail, a stockman, it is a nice little #67, looks to be in fair condition. It appears to be I am collecting Short-Lines now on top of everything else!
If you’re like me, I’m worse than an old coon. If it’s shiny and catches my attention…grab it.
It’s a sickness I tell ya.

Yep and I got it bad... Now I know why they call it "Short-Line Fever"
A new box for the ever growing Camillus collection... I am starting out slow with it, just one knife in it for now... However, a new Short-Line is in the mail and on the way so this knife won't have to be all alone...
VERY nice acquisition!
You shouldn't have any problem filling it up.

Looks like you hit it out of the Park P.B. !!! I have a Short-Line in the mail it is a #67, looks to be in fair condition. Looks like a good candidate for the "5th" pocket EDC
Thanks TD

Camillus are like those Tater Chips, Can't have just one!!
Sometimes I Sit and Think .... Other times I just Sit
I May Grow Older, But I refuse to Grow Up!!
I'll sharpen it for you, but I don't give out band-aids!!
Well like Smitty said in previous post “ Camillus are like potato chips,can’t have just one. Received these 2 long line ,a 83 and 69 . The 69 needs a cleaning ,sharpening and maybe will get a shield for it. Doesn’t matter on that one as it’ll be a user. The little 83 is a little go to town knife ,it’s not a no line like Doglegg snagged a while back,but these little guys with etch and milled steel liners don’t come around in good shape often . So here you go, my latest potato chip fix. Catch you all later .

Nice 65's Ripster... too bad they ain't Short-Lines but... nowadays sometimes it is just good to find one clean enough and nice enough to display... Short-Line or not...
