Hi Phil,I was wondering if you knew the history of this knife.We had both Shrade and Camillus Rigger`s,Paras or survival knives,depending upon whom you asked(What is the official designation?Probably knife,automatic,switchblade.Supply is not one of our more colorful branches.).There was at least one other contractor,whose name escapes me. These date back to WW11, do they not?Mine were issued to me in 1964.Was there an earlier issue than the orange handle familiars? The question came up and,the answer is not in my library.I don`t mean to put you to work but,I notice an interest in the knife and,now that the AFO and Auto Stryker,(other autos have been issued), will replace it,perhaps we should get the history straight before it`s lost.It certainly is a part of the history of Camillus.I appreaciate your attention to this matter.
