Camillus - Chrome Marine Fighter

[jh2070]

I am looking to find a replacement Chrome plated Marine Fighting knife. I got it as a gift in 1990 from my recruiters before heading off to boot camp. Sadly it and back pack were stolen from me a few years later when my car was broken into. I have tried to find one similar on the net but no luck and Camillus said they are no longer made. I think it was a special or short run. Can anyone point me in the right direction or know someone who wants to part with one?

The knife that you had was a model #1009 "Trailblazer" that was in production from the late 1960's through the ealy 1990's. The Marine Shop in Quantico, VA bought many of these knives (they ordered this knife with the military sheath instead of the civilian sheath). Maybe they still have some in stock. I have also seen these knives offered on Ebay.

Thank you, that helps I'll give them a call and see what I can dig up. If anyone else here knows of someone with one of these knives please send them my way.
