Coast Guard Rope Knife

[Augie]

Picked his one up this morning, thought it was a pretty neat knife, great shape looks unused, Seller thought it dated from the 90's, I think it might be a little bit older.

FYI, doing a quick look through the catalogs at "Collectors of Camillus", I see the knife,(S702), in various catalogs between the years 1979 to 1994. Maybe our specific tang stamp might narrow the time frame down.

Augie, check out this thread to get the age of your knife from the way the blade is marked http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/497708-Camillus-Tang-stamps-and-dates

Cate, welcome to the Camillus area of the Forum. Check out http://www.collectors-of-camillus.us/ for some history on Camillus.

Thanks for the input, by the tang stamp looks like the seller was right, early 90's or so.

There are at least a couple of these blade etched S702 models floating around. One is a 'remember pearl harbour' issue. Another was an S702 commemorating the coast guard. I sold a few of these on ebay.
