My New Camillus EDC
My New Camillus EDC
I set up my table at the OKCA mini show this last Saturday.
I got a bunch of really cool knives, but this one I believe will be a keeper.
I EDCed it today… I love it! Good snap, a beautiful double swedge and a long pull, what's not to like?
Did I mention the awesome bone handles?
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I am really more of a fixed blade guy, but isn't that a Schrade trapper frame somebody has put an ill fitting Camillus blade into?

Re: My New Camillus EDC
That was my first thought when I seen it. That frame has Schrade all over it.Gunsil wrote:I am really more of a fixed blade guy, but isn't that a Schrade trapper frame somebody has put an ill fitting Camillus blade into?

Re: My New Camillus EDC
That is a handsome knife Dale! Love the bone, shield, blade, handle shape, regardless Schrade, Camillus, or a combination thereof, I'm sure it will make for a great carry.

I'll toss my hat in with Frankenknife guys....nice looking blade, surprised to read it works well, looks like liner is a bit squished, Definitely doesn't appear to fit that frame well. Use it!
Re: My New Camillus EDC
Dale that knife makes my pocket jealous. Glad you got it and get to enjoy it.

Re: My New Camillus EDC
When I saw it and picked it up I expected it to be a Schrade. I was surprised to see the Camillus name. I was two or three tables away from my table, trying to buy a knife and watch my table for customers as well, since I was doing the show alone. About that time someone came to my table and I paid for the knife and hurried back to my table to help a customer.
I had already missed out on another deal because I went to help a customer at my table and when I came back all of $10 zipper cases that he was selling for $2 each were gone. I should've bought a dozen of them!
So when it came to the Camillus/Schrade I knew I liked the knife and it wasn't being particular. The price was pretty reasonable too.
When I get a little time I need to research it. It might be I found the perfect handle for a Schrade Cut Co. trapper I have with a broken bone handle.

Re: My New Camillus EDC
I would bet money that is a schrade frame, it's either cut co or early walden. The fancy shield and rat tail bolsters did not last past the 50's on their respective trapper patterns.Gunsil wrote:I am really more of a fixed blade guy, but isn't that a Schrade trapper frame somebody has put an ill fitting Camillus blade into?

But Tommy, it wasn't a right Camillus!carrmillus wrote: ....I'd hate to tear up a Camillus to fix a schrade!!!!............ .......................
I did finally get the time and I put the 294 blades in the handles. They fit like they were made for it, probably because they were, and it looks great. I did save the Camillus blade and trust me, when I find the right handle for it, the Camillus blade will go back into a frame because it was a too good to leave laying around!
Now sir, don't y'all think this looks better with the right blades in a right handles with the right jigging?
Tommy, I think as big a Camillus lover as you are even you will have to admit that that is one fine looking knife!

Re: My New Camillus EDC
.....it is a good-looking knife, dale, but if I was to ever carry anything that wasn't a Camillus(or drive anything but a FORD), my grandpa would start kicking the dirt off his grave!!!............. .....................
