Sword Brand Swing guard lock back
Sword Brand Swing guard lock back
Have this 4 line / Sword Brand Swing guard lock back . Have a question regarding what Camillus called this pattern/ model . Was it a Hunter or just lock back or? Since it’s been here have just called it a lock back . Have looked for catalog references and nothing found .Does anyone have a old Catalog cut out or model / pattern # that would be great . It’s 4 and 5/8 inches long closed ,steel liners and nickel silver bolster and swing guard .

Re: Sword Brand Swing guard lock back
Jp here's one I have . This is a 4 line Camillus so from the era of very little documentation. I assume they would call it a swing guard lock back that could certainly qualify as a hunter. Pattern #and other info from early Camillus knives is very rare.

Re: Sword Brand Swing guard lock back
Jp here is a lock back made by Stainless Cutlery Co. That is similar in size to the swing guard. This company was Camillus entry into the new era of stainless steel. There is an exact pattern of this knife in a four line Camillus as well.

Greg that Stainless Steel Cut co. Is a beauty. Have never seen that one. Camillus entry into stainless didn’t go so well from what have heard and read. Have a few of them and they’re some very well built pieces some say top of the line.gsmith7158 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 1:07 am Jp here is a lock back made by Stainless Cutlery Co.
