Here's a fleamarket find,Camilus Coke adv. to bad it has a broken blade

[tjmurphy]

Here's an old Coca-Cola knife that I have. c. 1930, Goins says stainless handles but I think that they are nickel-silver.

Here's a #1996 Scout that just arrived

[Cutty]

Just picked this one up over the weekend. Not sure of model #? I think it dates between 1960-'76??

[jerryd6818]

Actually that particular tang stamp with the slanted font CAMILLUS is generally accepted as dating to 197x-198x. But as Dale (orvet) always says, you can't trust tang stamps to date Camillus knives.

Looked at a 1978 catalog. If it's 3-7/8" closed, it's probably a #67 Premium Stock with Delrin handles. From the blade configuration, that's what it looks like.

Blades look full. From what I can see in the picture, the handles look to be in good condition. Nice snag.

[Cutty]

Thanks Jerry
It is "3 7/8 closed, Delrin. And it still has 99% blade if not factory grind, no cracks/chips etc in the scales. Really doesn't look used at all? The spey looks like it may have been touched up however I don't know if thats from the factory? The blades have a bit of spot tarnish but overall it's nice.

Great call on the model # from just seeing the pic Jerry!



Nice knife Cutty.
The tarnish on the blade is probably patina on the carbon steel.
It should develop nicely as you use the knife.

Nice find!

[Cutty]

Thanks Orvet!

Here'a a little 2 5/8" #70

My pattern #5818 collection

[Doug Add]

Picked up this well used 22 pony jack for $4 at the flea market a couple weeks ago, because it reminded me of the shape and blade configuration of my Case peanut (a favorite of mine). The first picture shows it with the peanut, the second with the A.W. Wadsworth & Son sleeveboard pen knife.

[Just Plain Dave]

The Cammilus is neat because the pen blade is out front!

The Sleeveboard is just drool......

[Doug Add]

The Sleeveboard is just drool......

Thanks Dave. I have tried to get decent pictures of the Wadsworth, but nothing I capture really shows it just right. Here are two more attempts:

Lok-Back #4

[smokepole]

Nice one Vit - dieing to get my hands on one of those but so far the prices with postage have just been too stiff. That one looks to be in great condition too!

[orvet]

I got this equal end Camillus jack this week.
I really like this pattern; 3-5/8" with nice full blades.
The size and shape of the handle makes for a good grip on the knife.

Lok-Back #4

#4.jpg

I had one of these Camillus #4 lockbacks with nice wood handles and another Camillus lock blade made like it, single clip blade and all except it had delrin simulated red stag like handles on it and a switch button in one handle that locked the blade open, not a switch blade. I just traded them both off about three weeks to a month back at a local knife & gun show in the next county above me. I like those lock back pattern Camillus knives. I got a burnt orange bone handled U.S.A. Winchester swing guard cheetah pattern and a bone handle Camillus Moose pattern out of the two lock blade Camillus knives. Smokepole if only I would have known, I'd have let you own one just like the Camillus #4 that Vit has pictured. If I run across another Camillus #4 lockback in excellent condition, I'll try to get it for you Smokepole if you want, would that be OK?

[smokepole]

Aimus, that is a most generous offer and I would be very grateful indeed! I'd be happy to pay for it, or swap for it, or perhaps make you one of my folders in return?
I truly appreciate the offer!

[ozzie marie]

Here's a #26 I've just added to my small but growing Camillus collection

Keith

[smokepole]

Just got this one in. One scale has a piece missing and a crack in it, but to me that doesn't matter - the seller did declare it and I got the knife for what I think was a very good price for a four line EO, even after postage. And I plan to replace the scales in any case. It is already living in my one pocket for EDC, chipped scale notwithstanding!

[orvet]

Nice one Willem!

[jerryd6818]

Ahh Smoke. That's a heart throb. Please show the ole' girl when she gets her new dress.
