Camillus utility knives

Post by DelNich.57 »

See attached some pictures ( if I'm successful in posting them) of a old Camillus utility knife. It has some nice looking bone handles and is in pretty decent shape. Thanking all of you in advance for any other information.

I dearly do love the bone on those old gals. Yours is a three line stamp with no underline. Most likely from the mid-late '40s into the early-mid '50s. Don't see that stamp very often, especially with bone handles. That's a good'n.

I hope you don't mind. I cleaned up the pictures just a skosh. The better to see her beauty.

Looking at that knife reminds me why I've gathered up so many scout/utility knives over the years. I absolutely love the bone handles on your knife DelNich.57.

These old bone handled Camillus 4 blade Utility knives from 1930's to early 1950's are great knives. Despite their age and frequent heavy use there are still thousands of them 'out there' in very good condition and perfectly usable.
