Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Received my first 72 short line WITHOUT shield . Don’t know if it’s me or just don’t see many short lines without shields?
This one from the bay had a little rust ,which I removed most of it . One spring has slight pitting. This one was listed buy it now 10.50 US dollars. That didn’t take long to hit buy now .

10.50 US dollars? Why didn't I see that ? Well I am glad you got it, that is a nice score!!!

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Hey G dog , you posted a couple of keepers here lately
The USCG Rope knife, that’s one that I need to get after! You got a good one there
That #5 looks to be in great shape for short line
Appreciate your posting those.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Good looking Fisherman's Luck. Just keep an eye on it. The handles were made of Pyroxylin which is basically a type of celluloid.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Very nice CAMILLUS 5.
I second what Smitty said about the handles.
Beware of celluloid.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Thanks for the advice ! I have also have VERY bad luck with horn scales/handles.... it seems some bug from somewhere always gets to those knives They end up with wormholes...Papa Bones wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 9:29 pmGood looking Fisherman's Luck.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
From the forum here I would estimate: circa 1902 to 1915. Does that sound correct?

Very sweet old knives.
Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
I pulled this pic up for another thread but thought I'd post it here too.
Here's one from just before the fall.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Someday I'll find one of those. I had a Case rigger's knife when I was in the Navy, and gave it to a fellow Sailor (I needed to lighten the load before flying out of Honolulu). I can only hope he still uses and enjoys it.

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! 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..

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
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.
