It's awesomely overbuilt and fits the 23 perfect but it would probably (very tightly) fit the 2 blade version as well. I have a big Winchester 4 1/2", 2 blade trapper coming next week and I will check. I'd never seen a sheath like this one...I'm going to get another.

Lord, I've got 15 pages to catch up on...
I just returned from the mountains where I scored this Camillus 72. It has been in my pocket ever since.

Can anyone help me date this knife?(through email or p m preferably)
It has the short underlined "Camillus", but other than that I don't know what to look for.

I've had this 66 Calf Roper in my pocket for many days of the past few weeks since I traded Cory Hess for it. It was a bit used when I got it (some rust spots on the blades and gray patina) and perfect in every way. A great example of GEC craftsmanship and with the bit of character already on I was not afraid to really use the knife. I cleaned out the small rust spots and applied a mustard patina on top to protect the raw steel. I really like the bit of texture on the blades from its previous life and this size/blade arrangement really made for a useful knife. I modified the spey into a drop point and removed the point above the nail nick on the sheepsfoot to make the knife more comfortable when using the main blade. I love this knife.

I've never seen a bail on the same end as the main blade. I like it - doesn't look like you can accidentally shut a tool on it.

That's a pretty sweet starting five! (I miss college basketball.)

A terrific pair, captured very nicely!

Thank you Sarah the subtle elegance and attention to detail in Ken's knives is unsurpassed.

 

[Buzzbait]

Same as always. Remington R-4. It hasn't left my pocket for months now, since I got it. After all these years, it's possible that this could be "THE ONE". I know it doesn't have the fancy covers or steel or finish of so many knives in this thread, but it is exceptionally adept at being a daily companion.

There are Camillus tang stamps shown on the "Camillus Tang Stamps and Dates " thread dated 9/8/2007 . I think yours may be the 1946 to 1950 one , but trust and verify for yourself. There are people who believe that tang stamps are not always reliable to date a knife with . There also are some Camillus Catalogues you can find by searching the net for Camillus Collectors Club.

I absolutely love the propeller shield with that bone, Primble! Very classy!

Thank you Jordan. It is one of my personal favorites.

Nice knives posted today, always love the variety...

Thank you for the compliments Duane. I was jibberin' and pointin' fingers at you (and others, elsewhere) for enabling me into buying a few wood handled fixed blades, which are out of normal purchasing routines.

 

[Old & In The Way]

Gev and Primble - Lots of stunning knives posted today, but the two you guys carried today are simply magnificent. :thumbup::thumbup:

Jack - thanks my friend. I'm looking forward to learning more about your bank robber. We had a very nice day. The weather was wonderful and I managed to get in an 8 mile hike this morning and then had my parents over for a BBQ and spent the rest of the afternoon swimming. The Oeser made for a great companion throughout the day though I did leave it at home when we went swimming.

I carried my Eric's Jack in the afternoon and switched to my Cripple Creek Punkin' Seed Jack for an evening walk. The Punkin' Seed's 3" length makes it quite comfortable when I don't have my wallet to keep a knife vertical in my pocket; it rides comfortably on its side, in the bottom of my pocket.
