Tang mark

[Russell Payne]

First I want to say that I have several Camillus pocketknives and enjoy them. Camillus has always been very helpful to me in repairs, customer service, etc...The folks I have talked with have been super nice. I have two questions. 1. In my latest SMKW catalog there are some Camillus trappers and stockman knives listed at good prices but some of them have a different looking tang mark. Are these 100% Camillus made in the USA. 2. I have an old 4 blade Camillus congress with black jugged handles (composition I think)with a tang mark of Calullus underlined once, New York, USA and on the back the # 91. Just wondering when this was made. Thanks for your help.

Russell,
I can answer your first question. Yes, those are 100% Camillus knives. Made right in Camillus. There were some special runs just for SMKW and, while I'm not sure why, the tang stamps were different. Rest assured, NOBODY but Camillus makes Camillus knives.
