Camillus had the touch, when needed! R.I.P.

That old 4 line stamp is definitely one of my favorites, the font they used back then was classic!

I was thinking the same thing. What a striking font, with killah serifs.

As for the rest, the few Camillus knives I've seen in person impress me with their sleekness, seemingly 'underbuilt' compared to most modern counterparts--- and yet, not.

I love it too! Nothing worse than waking up and going right back to sleep!!

I suppose it depends on the pattern and time period P. Camillus was around a long time. This WWII-vintage utility knife is reassuringly robust.

Very nice!!! I have on of those on the way to me, but without shield. Beautiful scales though.

As most know, Camillus was a major supplier of knives for the military during WWII. Here are a few of the patterns they made to military specs.

Marlin Spikes for the two World Wars. The World War I version (bottom knife) was made for the Canadian Military and was the first military contract knife in the history of Camillus.

and one of my favorite Camillus collections of the modern era: The Classic Cartridge Series from the '90s

Indeed, quite the collection.

Those spikes seem to be longer than the majority I have seen.

Batter Up! This Camillus baseball bat knife feels good in hand. Anyone know the age of this one?

 

[coolio]

Mark, I wouldn't venture a guess on the age; but, I can envision Sparky Anderson tamping his pipe with it, circa 1984. Is that a spec of pine tar on there?

LOL Brad! Hopefully the Tigers can win it all like 1984. :thumbup:
