another pilot knife

[1894]

Be very carefull , like most other knifes they tend to multiply
I got my first one last year , It was a made for a store version ,
( see post below )

I really liked it and tried to keep my eye out
for another that at least had the date and Camilus NY on the pomell.
I found one online at an army surplus warehouse . :thumbup:
Just got it and I see a couple of differences.
5 " blade vs. 5 1/8 " blade , metal washers at each end of the
leather handle on one of them.
OAL is the same , shorter handle on one.
The Norton Pike stone was broken right under the snap .
Snaps are intact I just need to repeen the stud back on.
Correction , I will have to replace the snap on the strap.
This " new " one was a part of the 1984 glut , 5-84
on the knife August 1984 on the sheath.
Long winded , I just wanted to share

That can't be an Ivy vine... Those things are have more hair than Bigfoot, especially if it was that size...

Still, the thought of it gives me the willies... I am so allergic to Poison Ivy!

Me to :grumpy: As a kid in Nys ( 117 " snow avg. each winter ) Got the rash in febuary , a one week January thaw was all it took.
I think this is dying or dead from old age , but still toxic .
Hairy ? yep , farther up the tree.

Just to keep this on topic,
