8 knife Camillus group for sale

Post by Rotten »

First things first, this is not my for sale listing. As I don't have the funds to pick these up I am hoping someone here will and add them to a nice collection.

What is etsy.com? I do not follow links to unknown or unfamiliar sites. I've had too much computer damage from viruses in the past.

I'm not sure how to describe it except maybe an ebay alternative with fixed prices. Lots of handmade and custom items available along with things like knives. It's been around for over a decade, I have made several purchases over the years with no issues. I do understand your hesitation though.

Just to reiterate these are not my knives.

Beautiful set of Indian Stag, but $350 seems a bit steep

Beautiful knives. The average price on them at $350 is $43.85. The folding Hunter will bring more than that, the 89 will bring more than that, the 78 will be close. The rest I have no idea as to the value. So I think it may be a tad high too, but maybe close enough to dicker if that happens on Etsy, I have no idea.

Seller says "Indian stag", but that sure looks like plastic to me. Seller also says 1970s, look newer to me.

Indian stag was Camillus’s name for that particular pattern of Delrin. To me, just my opinion, it seems tougher, leas prone to pin cracking, and feels better in the hand that most other Delrin knives I’ve had.

The person on etsy described the handle material as "plastic"
