Camillus Three Blade Sword Brand Pocket Knife

Post by VAtoTN »

Just wanted to share a knife I picked up recently. My dad had a Camillus lockback knife when he was alive and that got me on the hunt for Camillus knives recently, and this one caught my eye. Just got it in the mail today and though it needs some cleaning, I’m really happy with it. Planning to sharpen the blades and use it as my EDC.

That's a nice knife.
Camillus called those handles Indian Stag. They are delrin.
In my opinion Camillus Indian Stag is the best delrin ever.

::hmm:: Is that an auto? If so, I didn't know Camillus made autos.

No, in this case, that switch operates as a lock for the main blade (may have been for all blades, but on this knife, it appears to only work on the main blade.)
