Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

Thanks Floyd,Skip, Smitty and G Dog. It’s a fun challenge looking for shorties .

This arrived yesterday and it got added to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. This is NOT the same #1 that I posted back on June 4. It's another CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line tang stamp pocket knife (1946-1950). Not the prettiest #1 that I've seen, but certainly not the ugliest #1 that I've seen either. It still has a lot of life left in it. It did need some cleaning, I did what I could. I took some pictures and here it is.

Congrats Skip. I'm proud you saved it.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Congrats.....

Thank you Floyd.
It definitely deserves a place in my humble collection/accumulation.
It is sharp as hell and has a very, very, nasty snap. Luckily, it has a
great half-stop also.

Great find and great save Skip. Very full blade, and by your description has a good strong backspring. The old girl has many years ahead of her now.

Great.....

Thank you Smitty.

I like it just fine the way it is. You did well with that one, Skip!

Received this short line #9 today. Not a big fan of these but needed one for the short line collection. It’s a big old knife,well built with good snap and half stop . Its been cleaned, the blade and bolster anyway,but not overly buffed . The Blade well is full of polishing compound and lint,plus needs a good flushing and good oil,then it’ll get some Ren Wax and put away with the other shorties.
G dog, here you about missing out on one, the other night I blew the chance on a nice one. Good luck on the hunt

[New_Windsor_NY]

Received.....

JP, that's a FINE number nine!
Another terrific find. Congratulations!

[doglegg]

Yesterday, this pocket knife joined my collection. It's another CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line tang stamp, 1st generation, "whittler" pocket knife. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
