Club knife for the North American Hunting Club. The Zombie shield is ridiculous and I have no idea how that relates.

Edit: Or maybe the knife and sheath didn't come together and it's not a club knife. ::shrug::

I would guess some genius added the zombie shield and the NAHC sheath hoping to cut a fat hog on eBay.

Did those green handled Camillus Stock knives first show up before or after Camillus closed in 2007 ?

Thanks Dale. I knew i had seen it before. I wonder if Remington knew the green would look like that ? I think most of us find it unattractive. I doubt it sold well.

I sold several both Camillus and Remington in my store.
They sold quickly and for the asking price. I wish I could get my hands on more of them to sell.

I got a couple of those Remington 9501 patterns off the Bay, both mint. The first one had the visible pivot pins in the bolster, but the second one does not, and I have never seen another like the second one. Big, strong knives, well made. I kinda like the green handles, myself. Reminds me of a cornfield.

Quote: "They sold quickly and for the asking price".
The green handles are unlike any i have seen on a traditional style pocket knife. I prefer a new traditional-style knife to be more reminiscent of the vintage ones. I thought it likely that others feel the same, but Dale's experience shows that i am wrong and that they were a good selling knife.
