"Old Smoothie" 61 Pattern

[thawk]

Picked up this yellow Camillus Stockman. Dates to around 1977.

Rosette Rivets, carbon steel blades.

Shown here with a 69.

Slim, sleek designed knife. Sheepfoot has nail nick on the mark side of the knife.

That is a very good looking knife. Love those yellow scales. Great Find

thawk,
One of the Camillus knives I purchased at the farm sale looks just like the yellow handled one in the picture.
It has the same stamping on the blade as yours except it has a #60 on the blade.
I'm guessing the number has something to do with the size of the knife, is that correct?

 

[thawk]

That's right. The #61 is 4" long closed. The #60 is 3 3/16". They look like identical patterns. On your #60 is the nail nick on the sheepsfoot blade front or back?

thawk,
I'm not sure I have the blade nomenclature down yet but I believe the sheepsfoot blade is the one next to the main blade.
Both of the smaller blades on my #60 has the nail pick on the opposite side of the main blade.
Out of all the pocket knives I purchased at the farm sale there's two Camillus knives I considered using as a everyday pocket knife, the #60 and a #65, those two knives are the size I really like in a pocket knife.
However they are in such good condition, they look new and I do not know the value of those two knives, so I opted to carry a Boker that's a little smaller and not in as good of condition as the Camillus knives.
Best Regards
