Wow !First knife was a Buck 110 back in the mid 60s. I still have the knife and as a matter fact I sent into Buck for a spa. It came back like a new knife and locks up solid as a rock. The blade is smaller due to sharpening however it is in my Spyderco case along with my other knifes. When I started to college in the 60s I purchased a Buck Personal. I also still have the knife and it got a spa along with the 110. I was not able to afford a knife when I was a kid as we were super poor living in northern Missouri. When I was customizing my little rubber car as a kid in the 50s I used my moms paring knife to cut off the finders for the cool look. Unfortunately I severely cut my finger. My mom wrapped my finger and walked me to the hospital 2 blocks away and the Dr. sewed it up. I have forgot a lot of things since then but I did not forget that. They did not use anesthesia and held me down on the table. The scare is still very visible today and I am in my 70s.
Come to think of it that's probably what I was attempting to describe when I said Camillus.Imperial slip joint (smaller than a peanut) that I paid $0.25
