There are only two in the red folder that are labeled FAKE. One has a Winchester main blade in it but the body of the knife is a Camillus 80. The other has a CASE XX 64 blade in it but it's really a Camillus 64.
I have almost all the Camillus 72 knives and clones I know exist (I'm missing two or three) and I've pretty much lost interest in looking for or acquiring more so my Camillus 72 collection is pretty static. I've lost the excitement of the hunt.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Today I added this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It is a 1960 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. I cleaned it up a bit, took a few pictures and here it is.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Just received a package of various knives,2 of which are ones that fill gaps in my collection. A little number 41 , long line. Tight ,snappy thing,no half stops. The other is a 4 line,2 blade,tight with half stops . Have just started getting into this black handled ones,do prefer bone , but this material is solid and holds up well, not sure what Camillus called it .
Take care,stay warm

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Yesterday I added this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1958 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. A nice companion for the 1949, the 1959 and the 1960 that I posted here previously. It has a few issues, one of which can be repaired. It also needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
