The Generosity Continues!!

[waynorth]

A little birdie told Paul Hilborn that I collect Camillus-made knives in a glass display case. (I think the birdie was a Kiwi!!)
So he sent me a wonderful and rare StreamLine Jack!

The Spear blade, especially the saber-grind, is not often seen!
Thanks so much, Paul!! I will add it to the display today, and edit in a picture here later.
StreamLine was a line of knives that Camillus initiated in the 1930s. Anyone know more about them? Goins implies they were only made in the '30s, and Levine isn't sure?

Crossed swords on the mark side, with 4-line stamp on the reverse.

Come back here later to see more!!


Here's more!!

Pile side tang.

Amazing how big those scratches appear under 8X magnification!!

Haha - Charlie my friend- that Mr. Paul Hilborn is a character for sure- a very kind and generous person.

Kiwi - a fat, flightless bird who eats grubs and come out only at night - mmmmmm that DOES kinda sound like me :thumbup:

Great to read this first thing in the morning!

Well Done Paul matey.

Well done, Paul! Thanks for sharing the collection and the generosity with us, Charlie! You just don't see many Streamlines and its a gem to add to all those gems in that case:thumbup:

Paul is such a giver! There are many of us who have been recipients of his generosity.

What a knife - That Streamline looks so - uh - streamlined. A really nice design. :thumbup:

Never seen one like that before, a special knife indeed. :thumbup:

 

[paulhilborn]

Charlie, you are very welcome and the knife was destined to be in your collection. It is my attempt to repay the generosity you've extended me and many, many others here and elsewhere.

You have gifted me more than once before and your help in obtaining other knives. Your contributions here on BF and in the knife world are unsurpassed.

Thanks all for the very nice comments, I'm just trying to pay forward the kindness I've received from so many.

So a thank you from me to you Charlie.
