Show Us Your Camillus Knives!

[SwedgeHead]

I think yours started out as a single blade electrician/lineman pocket knife. Or, it started out as a single blade AND wire stripping tool electrician/lineman pocket knife, with the tool being removed(?) at some point in its history.

Thanks again! I have a Camillus lineman knife as well (that some people call a TL-29), and from the same era (short line), and they are different sizes. Not that the knife is question isn't for the same purpose, but it didn't come from the same type of knife. Definitely looks like the same kind of handle material (walnut? I'm not good at identifying woods).

I love those old dark woods, just thick with history. Something about them.
