Moore Maker muskrat

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.

Moore Maker muskrat

Post by Jonboat72 »

Found this Moore maker muskrat when I walked in the door at a gun show in Oregon yesterday. It’s been carried and used, but doesn’t look to have ever been sharpened, absolutely no wobble in either blade and walk and talk is strong .
This is the first muskrat I have owned, and first Moore maker I’ve ever held in my hand, gave him a $20 bill for it. I can’t find much information about this particular knife online. I don’t know how common they were at least as Moore Makers. I believe this was made by Camillus, but was looking for confirmation if anybody knew.

That was a $20 bill well spent! ::nod::
One of my favorite patterns. I don't carry one but one is always close by when doing the final touches on venison before vacuum sealing.
I'd love to run across a Case muskrat for $20. ::tu::
