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

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 23 is a fine pattern, especially in the short line version with the swedge.

Muskrat Man put the smooth bone on it for me. I like it.

I'm enjoying the show.

A great looking bunch of knives.

Great thread!

Really nice with that smooth bone Joe.

Here are a couple of 23's that I rehandled back when I was getting started on knife restoration. I have to be honest - I didn't even realize until now that these 2 were "short-liners". ::teary_eyes::

GSPTOPDOG, I apologize for hijacking your thread.

The 23 is a great canvas for customization.
