What knife is this?

[rkmoore]

I picked up a knife at an estate sale a few weeks back. It looks like a miniature Ka-Bar. It was rusted from end to end and I haven't had much time to work on it. But, today I got around to it and found a Camillus 3-67 stamp on the butt cap. The blade is only 5" long and has a serrated spine with a clip point. I think the clip was sharpened at one time. There is no leather handle left just the skinny tang that runs back to the butt cap.

Anyone know what this is?

Sorry no pictures yet my camera is busted.

Hate the camera is broken, brother. I would try here, http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/695-Camillus-Collector-s-Forum, its a forum for Camillus collectors. You might be able to get some info there. Its an older Pilot's survival knife, made after 1967.

No problem. And just so you know, they made about a blue million of those things. There are some changes that occured, so, you will see 3-67 4-67 5-67, etc. on ones that came before and after. I think the 5-67 was called a "Jet Pilot's Survival Knife". No difference, just a newer model.

Good luck with your search, I wish you all the best.
