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

[TheChunk91]

Thanks!

Welcome.

Went way back to find this thread!! After brushing off the cobwebs, I managed to post this comparison of Stockmen knives. Notice they all have a different main blade!! They appear to have all come from Camillus!!

Picked up this Camillus Yellow Jacket Stockman, marked 7 but I think the pattern number is 711. Mint condition and is a very well made knife.

I just got this one in, really nice condition throughout. Not Schrade or Camillus, but I think it qualifies. From what I've read, these were only made from 1961-'66, for the Prince Albert tobacco offer. It came in a two-piece brown Schrade 33OT box, which it fits perfectly. I'm pretty sure they weren't sold that way! Any further info would be appreciated.

Not sure if this one quite qualifies for this thread but I’ll those it in here.

Here’s the Camillus I’m carrying today. Bought new in 1979.View attachment 1330980

I think I cornered the market on Camillus 66 Stockman's. They are a 3 7/8" Stockman that apparently were not very popular so finding a box of 5 new ones is pretty unusual.

Those are gorgeous. What are the cover material.

John, that's an older box, too, I'm thinking early '60s, maybe?

Thanks, some type of delrin or acrylic, the earliest were a white celluloid.

Yes, I think they were in the catalog 1965 to late 70's.

I've been looking for just one of those for quite some time! How did you find 5? I'm obviously not looking in the right places

They have that translucent celluloid look, but I they wouldn’t have held up so well if they were.

You definitely scored

My favorite Schrade model of all time.
I carried one of these all through high school.
They weren't flashy but they sure were popular in the day.

Stamped Stainless Cutlery Co New York, but from my limited research is a Camillus brand.
Senator Pen Knife, was my Grandpa's and he carried it a long time.

Picked up this great scout, very nice bone,walk'n'talk is good all around. This tang stamp and with brass liners puts in the late 40's to early 50's?

This thread has too much good info in it to let die, so here are a few new additions. First up is a very clean Schrade Walden #880 Kon-Kav stockman.

Here is a roughly 1980 vintage #73 Camillus Sword Brand stockman.

Camillus also made a lot of nice fixed blades, this trio being nos. 1006, 1007, and 1008.
