Old or new let's see what you have

I love the jigged bone on this one

OOOW's and AAAAH's From the gallery MB. That is some sweet Bone in a Hunkeriffic Slab.

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Greg

Yeah, probably could rehandle two or three pocket knives with those slabs!

[edge213]

MB, what is the overall length of that Camillus?

...mb, I've got 2 like this one, and the bone IS beautiful on them!!!.............. ....................

[carrmillus]

...........both of mine are about 7 1/2" overall, is that the length on this one??.............

[carrmillus]

.....i'll re-phrase that question........does anyone have one of these with a blade longer than 4"????................ ..............

[Miller Bro's]

Tommy, mine is the same as yours. The blade 4" overall 7 1/2".

I guess we are the only two people on here that have Camillus Fixed Blade knives

[carrmillus]

.........unless my memory is totally failing, I think I saw one on ebay a while back with a 6" blade, but that's the only one!!............ ...................

Nah, 'D'. I have ONE. Made post 1974.

Could be, it would not surprise me if they made it in a 6" blade.

I would prefer the 6" blade myself

[Miller Bro's]

Well Jerry if you're only going to have one that is a very nice knife to have, looks like it was hardly if ever used

And I stand corrected, there are three of us that have Camillus Fixed blade knives on here

[CheckSix]

I posted this one in the Military forum. A USN Mark 2, that was on PT boat #234 in the Philippines, back in '43 - '45.

[carrmillus]

..........do you think maybe JOHN WAYNE handled that one in "they were expendable"??????................... .........

Unfortunately... we'll never know.

This one is the Camillus 5665L66 USAAF Emergency Kit Knife. They were supplied in 1942, 5 inch blade, 35,500 were made almost evenly split between stagged bone and stagged rosewood. Sheathes supplied by J.H.Mosser.

[carrmillus]

...........the 2 that I have look identical to the top one, except both of mine are about 7 1/2" o.a., and about 4" blade length.................... .........................................

Looks like a good knife I might have to find me one of those

[edge213]

Camillus "Western". I need a sheath for this one in case any of you guys have one.

[mgdelpriore]

I picked this one up at a yard sale over the weekend. It's pretty beat up, and the sheath is wrong, but the price was to good to pass up.

[carrmillus]

....wonder if it's a ww2 knife??..there is a way to tell from the markings, but I don't know how to do it??...it looks old enough to be ww2!!.......... ................

[mgdelpriore]

The guy I got it from said it is a "old army knife". I did'nt ask him what war, but if it is ww2 maybe the sheath is mill. issue. I do'nt see any other markings on the knife and I have'nt cleaned it yet. do you know where to look for some clues to it's age?

Mike.
