A few of my Camillus Bone Knives

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.

Thanks Floyd. I like them too. I never knew anything about Camillus or Rogers bone either until I joined AAPK. Now I can't hardly pass one up. It's a sickness I tell ya, and I blame JerryD! lol

Thank ya sir! Camillus did these well. Everyone I've ever had, including the later delrin handled ones were very well made and smooth. They're as addicting as the 72 I believe.

Wade that was a stamp that was only used a short time when they started up after the war. Very few around. The model 17 is also a one year catalogued knife and it too is a no line. I should have noted that. I was unaware of them but got the information from Vit and Jerry. Thanks. ::handshake::
