Seems I read some time ago that a Camillus 4 line tang stamp is an indicator of a pre WW2 made knife. I picked up a Camillus folder (estate sale) today. No model # , but all four blades have Camillus, Cutlerly Co., Camillus N.Y., USA. Curious if there's any truth to that. Appreciate any input. :thumbup: Dale H.
