This is my only Camillus catalog, though I am looking for others. This page shows the Yello-jackets offered in 1996, since this is their 120th anniversary catalog.

This one shows the following patterns:
72Y
709Y
710Y
711Y
712YNS
713Y
714Y
715Y
717Y
CN628Y

Anyone have a list of patterns from this series made before or after this catalog?

I have started collecting the series, and am sad to say I have never seen a CN638Y.
As far as others in the series, I "think" there are 707, 713, 716, 718, 719 and 720. I just ordered the 720 canoe, then got an email saying it might not be in stock....I hate it when this happens.
 
I've never seen the CN628Y either. While I'm not working intesnly at building a YJ collection, I try to pick up any I see that I can get for a good price, with more emphasis on some patterns than others. The canoe is on the want list. Great knives, the Yello-Jakets! I have the 712Y congress with the serrated blade and it is a great little knife. I just received a yellow handle Camillus 712 non-YJ, non-serrated in the mail that I got on the bay. Again, a really nice little knife.

Mountainwind, ref: the thread in the Schrade forum, I reckon if a CN628Y comes up on ebay that will be a all bets are off auction, eh? :D
 
Sorry guys. I only have ten of them and I will not rest until I have an even dozen. I keep a standing bid of a grand on any that come up, an so far I've not lost one. How high can you jump?? :D

Just kidding, just kidding.

^ mouse over to read spy message! ^
 


feel free to bid amongst yourselves if/when another comes up for sale.

Yep, kidding again! :D
 
Dang, Condger, that's a nifty little set up!

I'll just have to pickup what I can when I can. I need to get a few of my favorite patterns just to have some to use and some to set back.

Like the Case CV yellow handles, the Camillus YJ series is just a darn good bunch of carryin and usin knives.
 
I feel fortunate to have purchased a 716Y double blade, double lock. I'm starting to think I did well buying it. It came in it's factory box marked "716Y" with a #11 Camillus sheath. Designed with the same blades as the 717Y, but both blades lock. Wish I could send pictures, oh well maybe some day.
