Camillus Yello Jaket Knives

Post by Knifeman7989 »

I have to say I love these knives. I just started collecting the yello jakets or yellow jackets for those in the new, and they're some of the finest knives I have found that are actually fun to collect. So far I have all three of the lock backs and one of the trappers.

707 serrated
715
716
717

Attached is the only thing I could find showing the whole collection. If anyone has anything they'd like to part with shoot me a message.

Thanks

The yello jakets are nice knives. Over the years I have collected and sold most of them although I do have the number 72 and the fixed blade. I think it took me five years to find the fixed blade, they are not very common.
PM me if you are interested in either of those.

Thanks. I just checked. Some of them are a bit over what I'd like to spend but its good to know that's an option.

The 716Y has been my go to hunting knife since about 1991.
Mine has disassembled 24 deer and two moose so far.
I like it a lot.
