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.

It's a looker! I saw this one, or one that looked extremely similar, paired up with a 1 in an eBay lot. Were you the lucky bidder?

Very recently I added this to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a CAMILLUS 1, single blade, hawkbill, 4" closed, liner lock, short line pocket knife. Actually and surprisingly, it's the only #1 that I have. It isn't the nicest looking #1 that I've seen, but it isn't the worst looking #1 that I've seen either. It has a lot of life left in it. It needed cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Great find Skip. That one looks good. Like yourself, I have also seen a lot worse. They were working knives and usually are extremely worn.

I'm really enjoying this thread. Some beautiful short lines.

I found this one floating in the bay the other day. I was surprised that they made a Timber Scribe in the short line era. But sure enough here it is. Not flashy but proud to have gotten it.

My well used CAMILLUS #1, single blade, hawk-bill, liner lock, short line pocket knife. This has been a great EDC over the years. Now knowing more about the "Short-Lines" I wish that I had been a little gentler on it... ::teary_eyes::
