Camillus #11 folding knife

[Auriemma]

Hi all, I'm new here.

I picked up this pocket knife with an old tackle box. The very elderly owner said he had it since it was new. I offered it back to him, but he said keep it. He had no use for it.

Can you tell me about it... materials.. age.. etc?

Thanks.

Handle - Brown Bone

The tip of the main blade is worn much.

Those bone handles, like a fine wine, seem to get better with age.
