Hi there, I HAVE to sell some things, and unfortunaltely this beautiful knife is one of them.... One a the better Quality Fixed Blades I have seen in a long long while.
If you dont know too much here is a wee blurb from the person I bought it off, the facts are true from my research....
MADE 37 YEARS AGO
IN SEKI JAPAN
HIGH QUALITY KNIFE!
THE KNIFE AS THOSE RED LINERS THAT TAK FUKUTA PUT IN ALL HIS FIXED BLADE KNIVES BACK THEN AND STILL DOES TODAY. SO IMO HE DID THESE CAM III KNIVES ALSO AS HE DID WORK FOR MANY OF THE USA OWNED JAPAN MADE COMPANIES BACK THEN.
CAM III: initials of Charles Arthur Mahon III, he owns Vacaville Surplus & ArmoryChuck designed the knives and had them built in Japan. Chuck lived in Japan for a time with USAF. United Cutlery was one of several knife makers he dealt with. At one time JC Penney catolog carried his line of CAM III knives.Chuck is a retired Chief Master Sergeant and Korean War Veteran. He is an outstanding American.
I came in contact with CAM III knives about 6 years when I bought a ivory color micarta handle knife from "silverladdie" "ebay user name" and son of James Parker the onwer of Parker cut. American Blade and for one year in 1989 case cutlery, Yes! he also owned Case and had a big part in getting case to up their quality spec's after falling off a little before he took over. Ok back to what Jim "Buzz" Parker said about Cam III knives, he toll me that Charles Arthur Mahon III was out to have very high quality knives made in Japan and he was able to get it done, but what did not go over that well was the selling of the brand Cam III and the company only lasted a very short time.

i have NOT used this knife whatso ever - in fact it has NEVER been used.
Shipping is from New Zealand, I have a good reputation here for honesty, and I have never had a problem with shipping, insured shipping cost an arm and leg here in New Zealnd, I have always sent my knives Air Freight- and NEVER had a problem!
I will go Halves in the shipping, please see feedback if you do not know me
Heres the knife..
