What-A-Knife!

addylo · Jan 20, 2015

Found this old Camillus on the cheap at an antique dealer's booth this weekend and for some reason it spoke to me. I haven't been able to find anything about it but I assume it's a '70's vintage. The only similar photos I could find of the critter showed a bottle opener rather than a pen blade.

I used to have one with the cap lifter. Don't know what ever happened to it. I probably lost it during a move many years ago. I always thought it would make a good donor knife to have some nice scales applied to it.

They are neat knives. Made for the infomercial What-a-Saw packages.

I have one just like that, but it says "Dura-tool" on it.

Kinda cool knives, whether with cap lifter or pen blade, and whatever the message on the covers. Thanks for sharing them, folks!
