It's like I can spot your knives without even having to look at the name on the post. And that's totally a compliment.

On a Throwback Thursday theme, I'm hanging out (not much totin' today, as a 2 day rain is arriving as I post this) with a couple of older fellas who look to have seen more work in their days than I have in mine.

Kinda rainy and gray here today, and it feels like an oldie but goody mood to me.

Beautiful old knives. I'm quite envious of your USMC knife. They're so very hard to come by, and even harder yet with a main blade that hasn't been ground half way down to a nub. Almost all of them that I see are a hair's breath away from death. Those marines really used their knives hard!!!

That green bone is absolutely exquisite, in color, jigging, as well as level of pocket wear.

Unseasonably warm in the Pacific NW, 55 today and cruddy so I grabbed an 885. Figured the stainless blades may see some work since I’m off for a week now.

Sounds like a fun game.

Thanks, Buzz. It is in pretty good shape, except for missing lift pin in the can opener. I figured out the 4 line Camillus EO pretty easily, but the USMC stumped me. Is that an Ulster/Kingston or a Sears by Camillus? (I'm only half way through the Scout thread.)

Both are super nice, but I have a weakness for those Cam EO jacks!

As far as I know, the UMSC variation of the 14/4 pattern Engineer knife was made only by Camillus for the Marines during WW2. Camillus also did runs for the Army, Navy and the Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer). The only documented Marine run that I know of was performed by Camillus in 1942. Of the 4-blade Camillus knives made for each division of the US military, I'm pretty sure that the USMC is the rarest.

Thanks, Buzz and Jeff, the oldies bring a different level of enjoyment to this knife game.

Really like the Ohta whittler, Chip

Me too He really nailed exactly what I wanted in an EDC...add the fact that I almost never have to sharpen it and it's not going anywhere.

Quick pic of some detail work the wharnie knocked out the other day...
