Man I love the 5 Bladed Beast- again by the awesome Camillus - this Sta- Sharp example is simply Wow factor- well it is to me anyway, I'm going to try and zip it for once :oops: and let the knife itself do the talking!

I had the utmost pleasure of acquiring these knives off one of our local friends here- and I am so thankful to him for these wonderful examples- here is a Cattle Knife that has come from Camillus's very own Factory Display, as you would expect - this knife is absolutely Awesome!! Please forgive the wipe marks of Oil on the Blade folks ::facepalm:: .....

Hi Cudgee
We too are not having the best of Weather my friend- I just spent near 5 weeks darned sick from a bad Cold! :(

Thanks Ivoryman, I dont have too many Cattles, I am trying to find my way with collecting, but being pulled in so many directions which isnt helping.
I am very much into Older HJ's, also Scouts...BUT then love anything older like Jacks, Cattles, Oh man...you name it ::shrug::

Wow Duncan, you really have managed to collect many fine vintage knives in the last 10+ years. Being in New Zealand makes knife collecting even more of a challenge as many knife sellers will not ship to N.Z. But your persistence has enabled you to amass perhaps the best vintage knife collection in N.Z. It has been my good fortune to get to know you beginning in our early BF 'daze' circa 2008.
Please continue to post pictures of your knives in the various forums here.
