Another find....Camillus Slip-Joint

[Vanguard41xx]

My son and I went to a gun/military show today. Passing through the mounds of junk knives, I found this gem. Other than a little rust, it is in great shape. Good snap, decently sharp. Guy wanted $7.00 for it, got him down to $5.00. I'll post some pictures later after I clean it up. Does anyone know much about it, as well? (value, age, etc). Thank you, gentlemen. :thumbup:

It won't have much value because the scales are cracked, and its not in "collector" condition. However, Camillus made a great knife, and for 5 bucks you got a knife that still has many years left in it

Thanks man. I just cleaned/sharpened it, so I think this'll be a user.

A well built knife for $5.00 :thumbup:, would this be a 70's knife?

The stamp looks like 1960-1976, based on comparison to photos in this thread:

Absolutely

Yep... Can't go wrong at that price. 70's possibly 60's would have been my guess. But thats all it would be is a guess.

Looks good. Enjoy... Schrade had similar scales on some of their knives too, but I don't remember seeing many Camillus knives with them
