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.

Added this one to my Camillus family today. A Camillus 715 from the Old Glory Series I think from 2001 or 2002. Blade is tight with no wobble, positive lock with no play, blade is in good shape and etch is still visible. Here are the pics.

Thanks Vit. I did not know that. I know little of the Old Glory Series, just what's been posted. I came across it and decided to add it to my Camillus group. If I find others I may add them, but haven't really thought seriously about trying to acquire the entire set.

I'll sharpen it for you, but I don't give out band-aids!!
Received another addition to my Pony Jacks yesterday. I had to do a warm mineral oil soak & rinse, and a little cleaning. A Camillus Long line tang stamp 21 Pony Jack with bone Handles. Main clip blade has great snap, with positive half stop and no wobble. The secondary pen blade has very week snap. Mark side handle has a tiny crack on lower edge to the right of the rear pin. Pile side handle has a small crack at the center pin.

This arrived this morning, in time for the Fourth Of July. It's a CAMILLUS (no pattern # stamped), single blade, American flag handles, 3 1/4" closed, lockback pocket knife with a "GOD BLESS AMERICA" blade etch. This is NOT the CAMILLUS 864(?) or 907F(?) that I previously posted under this topic/thread. It is in near mint condition and didn't need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

This is not 864.
A feature of the #864 knife is the brushed stainless steel handle.
This model was produced from 1982 to 2006.
From 1982 to 1992 it was pattern 5761, and from 1993 to 2006 it was pattern 5818.
#864 (pattern 5761)
#864 (pattern 5818)
It seems that when assembling the Ol 'Glory #907F, Camillus didn't really pay close attention to which blades were being put on it .

Guys, my site www.camillusknives.ru can give you some information on very many Camillus knife models.
There is one feature that allows you to quickly navigate by model number.
Since the main language of the site is Russian, the link will take you to the Russian page (sorry), but this is easy to fix with a language switcher.

Great looking knife skip. It seems Camillus was just using whatever blades were available.

Vit_213,
You have put a huge amount of time and thought into building your Camillus information website. That you managed to do this while in Russia further amazes and impresses me.
You and your Camillus website are very significant resources for all who are interested in Camillus knives.
Thank you.
