Fished this Camillus 68 out of the bay and got it today. It is a short line and with bone handles. Been used but still not in bad condition. Thanks for looking.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Just got this one in the mail today.
Camillus #7 Cam-Loc with "Adventurer B.S.A." etched on the blade.
In all my years I have never seen one and I was a Life Scout back in
the 60's which I believe is the era this one came from. It's like new,
I don't see any blemishes anywhere on it. It came from one of our own.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Senior Chief, you probably didn't see it because that Cam-Loc didn't come out until 1976. I don't think it lasted very long because I don't think it was very popular. Vit can probably give you better info on it.dlr110 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 7:56 pm Just got this one in the mail today.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Thanks Jerry! I guess that would have been towards the tail end of them using that tang stamp. By that time I was not a Boy Scout, but an E5 in the Navy getting ready for a West-Pac cruise.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 10:10 pmSenior Chief, you probably didn't see it because that Cam-Loc didn't come out until 1976.

In 1980, someone at BSA decided all official knives should have ivory color handles. It ended in 1982.
