Thanks Papa bones and Skip, from me and the voices.

Sorry Jerry, but I think this is nonsense.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:09 pm Garry I found out a few years back that if the Marlin Spike locks, it's a "Rigger's Knife" and if the Marlin Spike does not lock, it's a "Yachtsman" knife. Splitting hairs I suppose.
Any company can name their knife whatever they want.
For example, Buck named his knife #315 is Yachtsman, but this is the same knife as Camillus #695 Marlin Spike, and it has a lock.

Nice to see those bone scales and even nicer to see another "Short-Line"

Well... in the long run I suppose you are right ... it looks like I will have to switch from Blue Moon and GUINNESS (The World's Most Iconic Beer. Brewed In Dublin Since 1759), to something cheaper... like Miller Light...Papa Bones wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 1:47 pmI Know Nothiing???? (in my best Shultz voice). Hey.....look at the bright side, after spending your beer money on a knife, at least...the next morning you will still have it. If you spend it all on beer, after you drink it, it's kind of hard to keep it, eventually it's going down the drain.

Guys does this one count? It's a Camillus knife kit I bought and fashioned my own handle.
The wood is Ash and I'm thinking of getting another one and using Kirinite for the handle.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
The "Swiss Army Knife" Stockman. A maker of the Swiss Army Knife, Wenger, did make one, but it's basically a common Stockman, with red nylon handles. Been trying to find both versions (clip/spey as well as clip/coping/spey) for ages. They're very rare.
But, as a Stockman that checks a lot of boxes, I nominate the Camillus-made Crosman Blades 910A. Has a big Turkish Clip blade, usually only seen on Stockman pattern knives. It also locks, which means I can ditch the mid-sized lockback. The lock release is huge, meaning glove-friendly. While I prefer a plain-edge coping/sheepsfoot blade (which is all I usually tend to use for most cutting chores), I like to have a blunt-tip or sheepsfoot serrated blade for emergency use, and heavy cutting. That means I can ditch the "EMT" style knife, usually a Spyderco Saver Salt.And a spey blade. So, one knife that does the job of three.
Both the 910A and the Schrade USA 89OT (both Large Stockmans with serrated coping blades) are hard to find. But, I personally prefer the 910A, even if it's stainless. The main reason, the master blade. It locks, and is a Turkish Clip. The 89OT is a slipjoint.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Here are 2 Camillus knives that are not often seen.
Pattern # 212, a "Smoker's Knife" designed for cleaning out and packing a pipe bowl, 2 7/8" closed length.
And a 3 blade "Green Wing", 3 3/8", three blade knife. A bit unusual as both the cap lifter/screwdriver blade and the awl have a liner lock, so 1 knife, 3 blades, 2 liner locks. It is the only Camillus i know of with 2 liner locks.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
I received this one yesterday. Fished it out of the 'Bay. A new addition to my Craftsman family. A Craftsman 9473 Jr. Stockman. 3-3/8 inch closed, with Clip, spey, and pen blade. The handles are the redish brown composite, pre-delrin. It has the Craftsman shield without the crown. All blades have great snap, have some of the original luster but do have some scratches, spots and spiders. The Craftsman etch on the Clip blade is all but worn off and you really have to turn the blade at the correct angle to see a part of it. The Shield is "Up-side-down. I see no signs that it has been re-glued or ever off the knife. It is not super unusual, as I have a Pony Jack and I believe a 9472 that is the same way. The 9473 was only made from 1958 to 1966. But in 1964 Craftsman Knives started having the Craftsman Shield with the crown surrounding the word Craftsman. From 1962 and '63 Craftsman started having the Craftsman etch with the Crown on some of the knives main blade. So I'm going to estimate this one as pre 1963. Here are some pics
