Knife ID

Anyone know what this knife could be? No brand, but blade has made in USA on it. I'm not exactly sure what the scales are made of either. Thanks.

If I had to make a random guess, I would say that it's a Camillus overrun from when they used to make knives for Buck. The covers and the shape of the shield match. Why the tang is not stamped is a question, though. When Camillus was just about bankrupt in 2007, they released a bunch of parts knives, trying to make one last payroll. This could be one of those. Best guess.

It almost looks like the tang stamp has been shaved off. Thanks.

That makes sense.

I was thinking employees going rogue a bit, so 'privately' made?

And I believe Camillus used Delrin for their covers.

Interesting. Thanks.

Just agreeing, that frame, etc.... matches the Buck 311 slim line trapper. Camillus and a bunch of others, used to off load a bunch of over runs to Smokey Mountain Knife Works. Sometimes these would have washed tangs.
