Today was spent trying to get rid of a knife from my collection, and inadvertently picking up a knife. I checked out a couple places in PA, from Glen Rock, to York, to Hanover. I looked at a lot of nice stuff, including an Owl Brand stockman with sheeps horn handles. I picked up a Camillus delrin handled large stockman, that said Rough Cut Tobacco knife on the main blade. No box, brand new looking until I dropped it on the sidewalk at Codorus parks marina :grumpy: . Anyway, anybody got an ID for this model? Steel? This is one of the best slippies I've ever seen. Needs an edge touch up, and then I might consider leaving the one handed openers at home and using this for my EDC one day next week. Oh yeah, only twenty bucks.
 
I've got one that I picked up on Ebay, and I rather like mine as well. I don't know anything about it, but for $9 it is a great knife. It was as dull as an earlobe when I got it, but a little work on the edge and it has stayed sharp. There is no bladeplay at all and no gaps in the backsprings. I'm curious to see if anyone knows any more about it as well.
 
Is it like this one?

I've heard different stories about the Rough Cut Tabacco line from Camillus, the most common is that they were an economy line that wa made from parts left over from contract work.

Either way, mine is very well made and is a great pocketknife.

I have been told they were only made in stainless steel, but mine is carbon and has started to patina and takes a wicked edge.
 
I have got this one which I really like a lot. Mine has carbon steel like TLC's and came to me good and sharp in unused condition at least 5-6 years ago now. It has no tang stamp on any of the blades. Does any of you all's have a tang stamp??

Anyway this steel takes and holds a hair pop'n edge.. Its a keeper to be sure:thumbup:

Mine says "Camillus" and "made in the USA" on the clip blade, otherwise it is identical, right down to the color of the scales.
