Camillus Budding Knife?

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Camillus Budding Knife?

Post by knifeaholic »

I got this as part of a collection of budding/grafting knives that I just bought.

I don't recall that I have ever seen a Camillus budding knife before.

Anyone have any history on this one? It has no pattern number stamped.

Is there a chance that it is a homemade tool?
The blade and handle look ok. The other "tool"
and the rivets/pins look wrong. I couldn't find
it, or anything that looks it, in any of the catalogs
that I have. Still, a very good looking tool and an
interesting conversation piece. ::tu::

Steve, it’s been a few years but wondering if you still have this knife ?
If so would be curious to the length and if you ever found out anymore on your end .
Just Curious ,appreciate it.
