SteveC here is the ebony 70. The work was superbly done by glennbad. I need to get some better pictures of it without the trees glaring on the blades.

The blades are in original condition with factory edges. 1946-50 stamp. The ebony is dark and looks stunning; the original shield was used. It is my favorite of all my camillus knives. Really it's one of my favorite knives, period.

TheChunk91 Wow! That is a beauty ! Looks like it came from the factory that way

 

[SteveC]

Here's mine

Great old bones. I really like the 70 pattern.

This is my user 70. I wont get this one rehandled unless the handles fall off. One of my favorite knives to carry and use, almost as if that's what it was made for.

I don't have a 70 in my collection. Is it the same #14 frame that Camillus used on the scout knives?

It's the same frame as the Engineer and the Air Corp knives and also the #16 & #17 Heavy Jacks

This is one of my many schrade 4" stockmans. Nothing special but some nice coloring to the delrin and a great knife to carry.

I continue to come back to my 881 as a heavily carried knife.

Hmmmm........ I may have to branch out from usual scouts, and widen my horizons a bit. I really love the Camillus 14 equal end frame.

Picked up a couple lately and they happen to be a Camillus and a Schrade The Schrade Walden is like new and I think the etch has something to do with mining in Contra Costa County in California.

Camillus #12

This schrade walden 881 has a unique feature that I've never seen on another 881 or 8813, nickel silver liners and pins. Being that I greatly prefer NS to brass that makes this one of my favorite 881's. It also doesn't hurt that it has nice bone that is well matched on both sides, hafted and rounded beautifully by the old pros!

Schrade Scrimshaw, 1982.

That's a great looking knife, Paul. I would've thought it was a 8813 just looking at it... that long pull and swedge, specifically. And I've never seen either with NS pins/liners. Very interesting.

Thank you. I have an 899 that's the same situation. The 881 and 899 were described in catalogs as brass lined. Perhaps it was just something they did when they had the materials available.
