Senator Pen #42

Wow! A Senator with Nu-Pearl handles that looks like it just came out of the box, brand new. Very nice. For some reason, I like Camillis's Senator pattern.

This knife is really very nice
What is this material "Nu-Pearl"?

"Nu-Pearl" was what Camillus called it. It's Celluloid so keep an eye on it for any signs of outgassing.

I just picked up this CAMILLUS/N.Y./USA 1007 at the fleas. what year do ya suppose she is?Shes going to make a great spare for in the truck

This knife I see in catalogs from 1965 to 1974.

Here is a knife I won on ebay.
The seller (unbeknown to me) was Gino, our AAPK Moderator.
Gino emailed me and told me not to pay for the knife, as it was a gift.

Since I got it I have been carrying and using it.
It fits very nicely in the watch pocket of jeans or Carhartt shorts.
I an REALLY liking this knife! Thanks Gino!

Dale, your welcome my friend! I am glad you like it

aw dang, thanks!

Nice little peanut Orvet. I'm working on getting one of those myself. It's quite unusual to see a full underline knife with genuine bone handles.

here is a couple

Couple SWEETIES there!

Cato - Those are absolute beauties!
I LOVE that Wharncliffe!!

I'm in full agreement gents, there is some nice stuff here. Here are mine! Hope you enjoy!

Here is a new one for me.
A 1989 Camillus commemorating the 200th Anniversary of George Washington's inauguration.
It came new in the box with papers including a registration certificate.


I think the handles are cast pewter.
The registration certificate was for a wood handled knife with a pewter medallion.
So now there is another version I have to find!

Great knives everyone

Here's a few I've added over the last month

Nice ones Keith.
I like that Indian Stag as Camillus called that type jigging on the Delrin.

That fish knife is particularly nice looking.

I love all my Camillus Knives but this was my first 72 and it is my favorite.

I know it's not good to covet, big sin and all that, but man, I covet that knife.

If you ever fall out of love with it, get in touch. It will always have a home here (except after I die of course)

..knifetime, i have one of these, identical to yours, same style box and all, and i've always wondered if smkw had anything to to with having these made(because of the blade etch)???...

I would hate to see you come to that John but if worse comes to worst, give me a holler. At least with me, if things got bad and then got better, you'd know you could get it back.
