Three Easy Opener Camillus

Here are three Camillus products, two branded Camillus and one Camco, that I customized and made into easy openers.


The first was a Camco equal end jack. I removed the pen blade and replaced the handles with amber jigged bone. I also made it into an easy opener. I guess you can call it an Easy Open Cigar Jack.

The second was a Camillus #68 Stockman with 3 bad blades and bad handles. I took out all the blades and put in a new long pull swedge ground clip blade. The handles are red jigged bone. I added the easy open cutout.

The third was a #20 Camillus muskrat with a chewed up secondary blade. I removed the secondary blade and spring, thinned the thickness of the handles, I also added jugged bone and an easy open cutout. It makes a nice slim profile with a narrow clip blade.

Oooh! That Camillus single muskrat definitely does it for me.

But all three are nice regardless. ::tu::

After seeing these, it kinda makes me wonder why the knife industry didn't do more with the EZ-Open feature. Good job as always Dale.

They just make so much sense when you think about it. EO singles are so pocket friendly and easy to open.
Great Dale! ::tu:: ::tu::
