The elusive Camillus # 80 pattern

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.

The giver wishes not to be mentioned, so on to the knife. This one is going to go in with the new display am currently working on. It’s milled liners just go perfect with this model,blades are tight ,has some wear,but it’s become my favorite.
As Knife folks we know it’s the hunt, maybe even a little old school wheeling and dealing going on, that make up part of our deal here. But when gifted a knife, it far exceeds all that in ways.
Have a great weekend out there ::tu::
