bwayne,
What you are looking at is a CAMILLUS HIGH COUNTRY HUNTER, drop point #2001. The knife was introduced[I'm doing this from memory, so its approximate] around 1990, and discountinued about 1995. The blade material was 440A, and the handle was an injection molded zytel/kevlar mix. Really kewl handle. I always like the HIGH COUNTRY HUNTERS, and the drop point was my favorite. There was also a trailing point, and 2 small version/capers. I believe the price was something like $39.95 suggested retail.

Good user knife,....I've skinned quite a few deer and hogs with mine

Thanks for thinking about CAMILLUS!
