I really like that, quite a useful combination.

I think the handle says it all "What-a-knife" - thanks for sharing. Looks like it could tackle a lot of tasks with ease.

Very cool! What's the story behind it?

Very cool! What's the story behind it?

Exactly this! That is all kinds of cool.

Hey! It's a bullet-proof Radio knife!

Very cool! What's the story behind it?

Well they were....

Not sure of the exact date but it is around the year 2000. Camillus made these knives as a promotion for "what a saw". I believe the originals had a clevis on the end and the ones with no clevis was a clean up of left over parts...

And...

I seem to remember Camillus made them for the What-A-Saw company that marketed a folding saw on infomercials. They were trying to spice things up by giving away a knife too.

I don't remember if they quit paying, or Camillus made too many, but I think the extras were dumped onto the market. Amazing they are still around!

As usual, Phil Gibbs is correct.

Yup, the QVC Camillus.

If this old Arkie didn't know better he would think you've gone native up there in them Ozark hills! :thumbup:

Interesting, I like that pattern. As Waynorth stated it does look like a GEC Radio knife. Very cool.

Perfect knife to take fishing or to a barbeque.

Mine says Dura-Tool.

It was the Dura-Tool models with bails. The What-A-Knife models did not have bails.
