Holy Grail

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

JP, I hope you realize that a couple of
these posted knives aren't CAMILLUS made.

I collect mostly newer knives and nothing terribly expensive or rare. As far as Camillus, I'd be happy to find a 707Y to complete my YJ collection (the folders anyway). I don't have the serrated 712, either, but that doesn't feel like a gap in my group. That said, I'd probably not walk past the 712 or any of the SMKW stag(ish) handled YJs at the right price.

The YJs are a "collection" I never intended to collect, but I liked the YJs so much I've bought them up. Usually my "collecting" involves little more thought than buying knives that I like, especially if I either had them, wanted them, or remember them from childhood. There's plenty of common knives that I want badly and don't have....just because I'm waiting for the right one at the right price to jump in my lap :mrgreen:
