While skimming through the knive catalog of an online retailer, I found a nice little yellow handled Camillus (but not Yello-Jaket series) trapper. I ordered it, the price was right and I'm not taking my #713Y afield. Just wondering about it, as it is not listed in the Camillus catalogs. Almost the same dimensions as my 713 (s), but has only one rivet instead of three (and it is not ground down to match the nice yellow handle) and it does have the Camillus oval shield. Tang Mark is not engraved or stamped, but etched.. just Camillus, made in USA. Nail nick on clip blade is in different place as well. No complaints, I'm just curious. Is this a Bargain priced version of the 713? Regular production? Current Production? Any other yellow handled patterns available? This one will be keeping me company small game hunting this year, I think.
 
Camillus ran some closeouts including a yellow handled knife similar to the 713Y. Covers are held on by studs, thus one rivet instead of three. Definitely not regular or current production models. Not sure if there were any other yellow handled knives produced, off the top of my head.
