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

My shotgun was a Valentine Day gift from my wife in 2011. It’s from a short run, Japanese made Browning Citori “White Lightning” chambered in 16 GA, that was imported by Browining USA in 2010. She let me pick it out and she paid for it, but claimed the rebate! OH

It looked like a Browning Citori to me. Very nice gun and an even nicer gift!! The closest I have to that is a field-grade Belgium Browning Superposed 20ga that I mostly use for clays. But, I also have a Belgium Browning A5 Sweet 16 that I love for rabbit and on the rare occasion I get out for birds. Glad to see you had a good day out!

I don't know anything about it either except it's very cool! I wouldn't be able to resist giving it a gentle refurbishing and carrying it! The secondary seems to sit low is by chance a harness jack?

yes, it needs a gentle refurbishing... i'll try it

the secondary is a pen blade.

Bleak skies and cool air, a perfect time to be in the woods.

Yard chore day, got my 93OT Wrangler with me for general use (and a bigger Buck Knife for any real heavy cutting). OH

Maiden voyage today for this camillus stockman I found at a South Carolina gun show while on vacation last week. I took off the active rust, polished the bolsters and sharpened it the other day... Lifetime of use left in this baby.

Looks great, Willie, is that the #78 or the #89?

Thanks, it's a number 89. According to the fellow that I bought it from it came in a lot of factory seconds, so most of the camillus stamp has been ground off. For the life of me though I can't find any glaring issue with it, other than a small spring gap

Camillus 75, Junior Cattle Knife for today's carry. Has the 1955-65 type of synthetic handles (pre-Delrin). OH

Gotta leave here at 0630 for an 0830 cardiologist follow up from my December ablation (doing great), going to carry this Camillus again (its a lucky knife) - I plan to hit the Tar River for some quick Shad fishing when I’m done - hoping to catch a Shad in that river, it will be my fourth river this season to catch a Shad (this year trying to catch Shad in all our major river systems, Roanoke River next week). OH
PS. Am I the master of the run-on sentence or what?!?!

 

[Old Hunter]

For today's carry, a Craftsman Gentleman's Jack as built by Schrade USA. OH

Sweet !

 

[Old Hunter]

Went fishing with a buddy today, several locations up and down the Tar River, Shad run in this river is nearly over, but a fun day none the less. Fishing fits just fine with stainless steel blades. OH

Monday was an office day all morning, then took my wife to a late lunch and out to see the movie Champions. This Ulster 58OT was all the pocketknife I needed. OH
Ps. Ed, doing my best to keep your thread alive!
