Re: Camillus 69
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the handles on that are bone. I'm a sucker for the main blade on those. So slim. So sleek. My, my.

Jerry there are two of us on that limb. That is a beautiful knife. What is the tang stamp? Lovely.
Re: Camillus 69
It’s bone. Will try to get picture of tang later today.

Re: Camillus 69
I think I have a bunch of parts for one of those. Back springs, blades, handles (but one side has a hairline). I had a complete one and took it apart. I might have to go look for those.

Re: Camillus 69
Great knife! Rogers Bone. Milled liners? They also made one for Craftsman, first in bone like yours, then in Delrin. Meanwhile Schrade CutCo made the same knife as a 8813 in bone, and 8814M in 'marine pearl' celluloid. Then Schrade Waldens in bone first then Delrin as the 861 openstock. Later yet was their 61OT, with Swinden construction and also by Camillus with pins. A person could put together quite a collection of just this dandy pattern. Thanks for showing that dandy!
