Nice acquisitions, JP.
Don't forget to post the two "72" variations in their thread.

Three very nice pick-ups. That could very well be the rigger's knife I had my eye on, but forgot to bid. If so, I'm glad to see it went to a good home. Soon I will see a Yello-Jaket (in Trapper form) in person.

Oh, and more or less... what did the rigging go for there about? I would like to get another one some day, my blade is wearing down from sharping and use...

I was the local swap-meet a few months ago and a local "picker-guy" I don't care for, who buys up all the knives he finds if they are a cheap price, then when he sees me he tries to sell them to me. He does not like knives, he just likes making money. He does not know that much about knives but he picked up a Camillus rigging knife for $10 (I talked to the guy he bought it from, it was sold for $10) and he would not sell it me, he said he was going going to give it to a friend ... Yea... a friend named "eBay"..

Received this Black handled 33 Easy open yesterday from another EBay purchase. Bought it to give the old 4 line bone EO some shelf time,have carried it most of the winter,but when I dropped it on the floor in the shop,thought it’s time to put it away. The new recruit is tight,nice half stops,and a long pull which is a plus in my books. And blades have plenty of years left .

GREAT lking "33" you have there, JP.

That old 4 line EO is just down right gorgeous. I bet the 33 serves you well.

Thanks fellas
Floyd that old 4 line has been a great knife. It’s a totally different feel than this 33 that has the composite handles.
Take care ,stay warm !

Very nice! A great edition to your collection

Received this 179 Stainless Sword brand today! The knife and stone are in unused condition. The knife had dried up lube and a coating on the blades ,cleaned it up and put a little good oil on the joints . The Box is a little worn on the ends but the clear cover isn’t cracked and paperwork is good .
Take care out there

Awesome find JP. Especially with the box, papers and sharpening steel. Congrats.

Here are the only two Camillus knives I have at present time. Both are Trappers, pattern 717Y, made within 20 years of the bankruptcy. The one on the top is for the cabinet, and the one on the bottom has been carried. I will add more Camillus knives to my collection sooner or later.

Nice one. I love the 717 and carry one often. I have one for carry and one for my stash as well. My YJs keep multiplying...

Great collection. What vintages are covered there?

Thanks, Dan. They're all like yours, the last tang stamp before bankruptcy.

Just recently I acquired this beauty. It's a CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. It didn't need any real cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

A beauty indeed. Very nice looking 60, and the first one i've ever seen with the file work done to the springs. A very nice addition.
