The Other Brands

[Ripster]

Evening Folks finally got a little time to post ,here’s latest in the mail . Received this High Carbon 3 blade bone covered piece . It’s tight ,no cracks in the bone,has some wear on main . Will clean it up ,sharpen it some and carry it now and then . Also show the 5 blade High Carbon bought awhile back from Cal here at the forum . May have shown that one here or in the Cattle knife area,either way here’s another pic or 2 . Both knives are 3 and 5/8 inches long and are very well built. The weight and feel of these oldies is something else that draws me to them ,some great craftsmanship back then .
Take care ,catch you all next time .

Here’s a High Carbon Trapper . Not a big fan of trappers but this one is one will tote once in awhile . Solid knife ,solid half stops and great snap . Nice bone covers and no brass . Made in the 1930 s by Camillus . Thought would oil it up and slip it in pocket for a day or 2 .

Here’s.....

JP, that is one TERRIFIC LKING piece of pocket cutlery!!

[New_Windsor_NY]

Recently, this became the latest pocket knife to join my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It came in a large group of pocket knives that I bought, but not for this particular knife. It's a CAMCO USA, two blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed (not including the bail), fob or key ring style pocket knife. Except for a missing bolster, a tiny crack in one scale and some blade wear, it's in pretty decent shape. The blades needed to be cleaned. I took some pictures and here it is.

Here’s a little piece with a few years on it . Two different stamps . The main has A KASTOR & BROS over NEW YORK and a full line under NEW YORK . The other Blade is stamped KASTOR over NEW YORK and a line under that and bottom line is GERMANY . Nice tight piece and the Scissors still cut very well !
So did the one blade come from Germany and built here ? Or other way around . Being the BROS is stamped on one blade would that put it early 1900 ,say before WW2 ? Any help with this one would be great.
Take care out there

Sweet additions JP & Skip! Congrats friends!

Thank you, Tom.

These two pocket knives recently arrived in separate groups or lots of pocket knives that I bought. These two particular pocket knives were NOT the targets of my purchases. They are both SYRACUSE, both have a single blade with a cap lifter or bottle opener, both have a corkscrew, both have a single tang stamp, both measure 2 7/8" closed and both are "bartender" pattern or style pocket knives. The tang stamps read "SYRACUSE - KNIFE - CO. - USA" They are both in GOOD condition. The last picture shows the two, paired up.

Looks like 'bout the same as my Camillus stamped knife. I guess they made the blades all in the same area then stamped them accordingly down the production line.

[GSPTOPDOG]

My book says that Camillus was the maker for Henry Sears and Son 1865 brand. Was this knife made by Camillus? Any idea when it was made?

[Hellomynameis]

Found this knife on a family members farm it is a cutlery co knife made 1925-1940 (cutlery co was a company used by camillus)

[Todd44044]

Picked up this Fairmount, normally I don't buy celluloid knives but this one was in such good shape and the celluloid so pretty I went ahead. From what I understand Fairmount was a Camillus brand before WW2.

That is a beauty! Thank you for sharing!

A couple of days ago, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it definitely turned out to be a keeper. It will be a most welcomed addition to my general, CAMILLUS, pocket knife accumulation. It is a KENT, two blades, one tang stamp, 3 3/8" closed, a long blade pull, two springs, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "KENT (over) N.Y. CITY (over) U.S.A." The main blade has a CRISP half stop, a GOOD opening snap and a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade has a CRISP half stop, a GOOD opening snap and a GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. I gave it a VERY minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you, David.
As far as age, per GOINS'.....
