I forgot some. The little one is my magic Camillus.

Does anyone recall what knife brand was known for yellow handles back before say 1970?

I'd say Case or Camillus.

 

[Headwinds]

My one and only yellow handle knife (make that yeller handle).

I'd say Case or Camillus.

Must be Camillus.
I don't recall seeing Case much in the stores when I was growing up.
I'd say "I might have been on the wrong side of the Mississippi River" (in Iowa) but all the Schrade brands were as common as Corn in Iowa and Ilinois, or Wheat in Nebraska and Kansas.
We also had a lot of Buck and Western (Boulder) knives available to choose from.

Here's a page from the 1990 Camillus catalog.

It's certainly a good knife.

Here she is! Always love to show off my favorite pattern the #76, and this one is in yellow rose.

Nice rich Yellow-Rose bone #748117 from GEC!!
The blade is a muskrat clip!!

Some yeller Schrades from early 1950s to early 2000s...

Camillus #60 I picked up this past summer. Made in the 60s to 70s.

This Camillus made Buck I believe it to be a 'missionary knife'. I'm not sure of all the details and circumstances surrounding 'missionary knives'. something was amiss and Buck took the knives, ground off the most of the identifying markings(so they could not be easily resold) and sent/gave them to missionaries to help with their programs. It's an interesting yellow knife.

I like yeller.

I like everything about that knife, especially the back story. Very cool!

Funny - I've always been a fan of the interesting Corelon "swirly" acrylic sided Case's, but never got into the plain yellow. Hey, it's all good - plain yellow just seems kinda bland to me ... I only have one, the 62087 pen knife (like the blades on opposite ends - makes it nice and slim) --->

A couple of yellow handled EDCs.

Case CV Sowbelly

Case CV Single Blade Sowbelly

That 3 blade CV sowbelly is exactly what I was trying to find, but couldn't... I ended up getting a RR yellow delrin sowbelly in carbon. It's a nice knife, but I would have liked to have found the Case version...

Love that little knife, one of my daily rotations.
