Duh...thanks

[Sasquach]

I don't use my name either. If people ever found out that D.B. Cooper is a Sasquach it'd make both puzzles too easy!

NWNY, I'll call you anything you like except Susie, she broke my heart at age 14 and I've never fully recovered!

Here's a little Camco jack with dark brown Delrin (I think) scales. I found it in one of my Dad's old tool boxes after he passed. I'm guessing that it dates from the 60s but don't know for sure.

NWNY is fine. I was a little "upset" last night when I posted my reply.
I deleted it a few minutes ago. I apologize (to everyone) for acting childish.

NWNY, I noticed that your post that I responded to with my "name" comments has vanished while I was writing. Guess the questioner touched a nerve. No offense intended.

WOW! I'm getting too slow on the draw in my old age! This one appeared while I was writing the one above. No apology necessary. When we reach a point where we can't laugh at ourselves.......we're in deep trouble!

I didn't even notice. I'm the one who was wrong here. I've got to learn to count to ten, take a deep breath and let things slide.
My little "outburst" was not directed at anyone on this site, forum, thread or topic. It was completely unrelated. Again, I'm very sorry. I would say it won't happen again, but.......
Anyway, back to knives.

And what better way to get back to knives than with a Camillus #53. This is my third one and only the 4th one I've seen and my first with the pattern number stamped on it. My experience with these so far is they were used and loved to death. This particular one has no snap. Well the main blade will snap if the pen blade is completely open, otherwise both blades have to be pushed closed. Never the less, I'm happy to have it and the price was rock bottom.

[Sasquach]

Indeed. Nice 53 Jerry.

The Camco I posted a little earlier also has no snap. The number stamped on the pile side of the master blade is 511. Also, I said dark brown handle, now while looking in brighter light, the scales are black. As I said I found it in one of my Dad's old tool boxes. Looks like he used it hard and it had rusted quite a bit laying in that tool box until I found it. I did some minimal cleaning and added it to the Camillus section. Any idea how to date it?

Dating Camillus (or Camco) knives is a tricky proposition at best. Sometimes pictures of the knife will help, sometimes not.

[doglegg]

Great pick up Jerry. Thank you for turning me on to the one I got.
Charlie you made two great funnies. I laughed at both. Very witty! I love it. Not only wonderful knives but a great sense of humor as well.

Very nice "53"! I'm on the hunt for one for myself.

Re; the 53. Good luck NYNW. If I run on to one, I'll give you a heads up.

It comes natural. I come from a long line of politically incorrect wisecrackers who love pocket knives!

That would be great! Never hurts to have an extra set of eyes.
Thank you!
