Camillus and Schrade of Old Given Short Shrift Now-A-Days

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Flint would approve of

Been a while since I've seen yours. Were they lost in the photobucket hostage situation?

Here's mine. No nearly as well used as yours. Excuse the recycled pic.

Just scored this old guy today. It's a Camillus New York USA Brown Rogers Bone WWI Military Issue Electrician's Knife. It was described as looking unused & unsharpend with a great patina. All I know is it looks cool as hell and built like a tank lol. Does anyone know if this knife is really that old?

Trevor, it's a World War II version... and a very nice example! Camillus produced these in Rosewood and Bone. 3 3/4 inches closed. All steel construction.

Just discovered a Camillus Cutlery museum in a knife shop down in the village of Camillus. Since it’s about 5 minutes from my house, I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a lot of time (and money) there.

Ever fish the creek that goes by Camillus Cutlery? I use to when I was younger and lived in Syracuse.

That's Nine Mile Creek. It's reasonably close to my home on Onondaga Hill and one of my favorite trout streams. There's a number of nice spots to drown a fly along the road between Camillus and Marcellus.

Thanks you very much for your response Al. That makes a lot of sense. Every time I Googled ww1 Camillus New York USA Electrician's Knife it came up ww1 or nothinges at all lol. I guess it's still quite old all the same. WW1 was 1939-1945 so it's at least 78 years old if my math is right lol. I should have it somtimes this week I'll post some new pick when it arrives. Thanks again Al

I’ve fished Nine Mile Creek before. Like Peregrine said, there are several good spots to fish off if there.

Your 881 is a fine, fine specimen. A peachseed bone schrade stockman or cattle knife beats all.

I have an affinity for old cattle knives (even if they aren't schrade), here's one in the form of a camillus 70.

Agreed with Paul T. here, Jake: that's a fine peachseed SW.

I posted this one in the Scout thread but it belongs here as well... I found this one online from someone who lives 30 minutes from me... I paid the shipping LoL

Thank you for the compliment on the knife!

Another 881 to add to the fun

As a kid, my dad used to take me to drown worms off the old bridge (now gone) that carried Martisco Road over Nine Mile Creek. I still remember as a little guy staring into the huge culvert that carries the creek under the railroad. Fond memories!
