Three Easy Opener Camillus
Here are three Camillus products, two branded Camillus and one Camco, that I customized and made into easy openers.
The first was a Camco equal end jack. I removed the pen blade and replaced the handles with amber jigged bone. I also made it into an easy opener. I guess you can call it an Easy Open Cigar Jack. The second was a Camillus #68 Stockman with 3 bad blades and bad handles. I took out all the blades and put in a new long pull swedge ground clip blade. The handles are red jigged bone. I added the easy open cutout.
The third was a #20 Camillus muskrat with a chewed up secondary blade. I removed the secondary blade and spring, thinned the thickness of the handles, I also added jugged bone and an easy open cutout. It makes a nice slim profile with a narrow clip blade. I hope you enjoy them.

Oooh! That Camillus single muskrat definitely does it for me.
But all three are nice regardless.

After seeing these, it kinda makes me wonder why the knife industry didn't do more with the EZ-Open feature. Good job as always Dale.

Stunning. As always! I am with Glenn on this one - they are all good but that Muskrat is something else. Great idea...

They just make so much sense when you think about it. EO singles are so pocket friendly and easy to open.
Great Dale!
