Show Us Your Camillus Knives!

That is a great story! I still have a knife givien to me under similar circumstances and I still have it and use it to this day. I love the feel of a rigger's knife! ::nod:: I also use one a lot as I haul a lot of stuff on trailers and I am tying ropes all the time...but not always making the best knots.. ::facepalm:: ::dang::

I'll have a couple of Camillus knives to show soon...but they're probably not quite as cool as that jack knife. That is indeed a nice one, and nice backgrounds, too.

Three very nice pick-ups. That could very well be the rigger's knife I had my eye on, but forgot to bid. If so, I'm glad to see it went to a good home. Soon I will see a Yello-Jaket (in Trapper form) in person.

Oh, and more or less... ::paranoid:: what did the rigging go for there about? I would like to get another one some day, my blade is wearing down from sharping and use... ::teary_eyes::

I was the local swap-meet a few months ago and a local "picker-guy" I don't care for, who buys up all the knives he finds if they are a cheap price, then when he sees me he tries to sell them to me. He does not like knives, ::td:: he just likes making money. He does not know that much about knives but he picked up a Camillus rigging knife for $10 (I talked to the guy he bought it from, it was sold for $10) and he would not sell it me, he said he was going going to give it to a friend ... Yea... a friend named "eBay".. :x

Received this Black handled 33 Easy open yesterday from another EBay purchase. Bought it to give the old 4 line bone EO some shelf time,have carried it most of the winter,but when I dropped it on the floor in the shop,thought it’s time to put it away. The new recruit is tight,nice half stops,and a long pull which is a plus in my books. And blades have plenty of years left .

Thanks fellas ::tu::
Floyd that old 4 line has been a great knife. It’s a totally different feel than this 33 that has the composite handles.
Take care ,stay warm !

Received this 179 Stainless Sword brand today! The knife and stone are in unused condition. The knife had dried up lube and a coating on the blades ,cleaned it up and put a little good oil on the joints . The Box is a little worn on the ends but the clear cover isn’t cracked and paperwork is good .
Take care out there ::tu::
