I know that just about every one says this is the best about something. But I swear to you, if an Italian Beef/Sausage Combo is your thing, then go to Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park, IL. None better.

I'm not sure, I'll check when I get home. It is fairly new and was unused, although I got it at a flea market. It has dark brown delrin covers,they end up looking black in pics though. I bought a klien 3 blade today that has an almost unused spear but the bench grinder been used heavy on the hawkbill. And a Camillus navy camp style utility, that the covers have shrunk and cracked. The Camillus has some major gaps and looseness going on. But it has a long bladed caplifter screwdriver. Bought them to mod, probably make a frankenknife. Frame and spear from the klien, caplifter from the Camillus. Use the leftover Camillus parts to make a 2 blade jack. Pics later of today's finds, got a wood covered Camillus tl29 with a faint USMC stamp on the cover that's in really good shape
Well so far I've pulled apart the Camillus navy camp knife, cleaned the parts and done a dry fit of the parts I'm reusing on it. Which isn't to difficult considering I'm basically taking one layer off. But I'm learning lots, and that if I do many of these mods I'm going to have to make a jig to get the spring back in. Going to take down the klien tomorrow and see where I'm at on fitting everything. I posted pics in the newest traditional thread, but here's one of the Camillus that's definitely NOT being modded
Very nice pair!!! Did the Camillus start life as a TL-29?
Lovely Catt and a wonderful image!
Great knife for some great eat'n! That image gave me a Pavlovian response!I know that just about every one says this is the best about something. But I swear to you, if an Italian Beef/Sausage Combo is your thing, then go to Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park, IL. None better.
