This might be my favorite old Camillus!!! Large Jack with old markings, and Uber-Patina, but almost no usage showing!!
I must have owned this knife for close to 20 years!!!

Checks all the boxes with me, Charlie. Such a knice knife.

Awesome old Camillus !

Thanks Cal and Steve!!
It's amazing how that knife appeals to me more than some immaculate Salesman's samples!!

It's the cut of the jib, a great shield, perfect choice of blades, and, of course, ebony. I have quite a bit of patina, myself.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Oh Boy! I can see why Charlie- like our friends say- it has everything!

Cal, that Patina just makes the Rain bead off you now

I pulled out an "oldy but a goody" today, a Camillus Sword Brand #78 Wrangler built in 1975. 3.9 inches closed length.

Did they make one of those with a linerlock or similar for the master clip blade? Maybe a sliding button lock?

I got out my old Box #2 full of cattle knives and other old rubbish and had a look at this senior Cammy cattle. I much prefer to see this blade combination instead of a spey blade; I don't anticipate castrating any wolverines anytime soon. I guess it doesn't make any real difference because I have no intentions of carrying most of my pre-war knives. I just like to coonfinger them.View attachment 2562426View attachment 2562427

The knife that was to become the US Army Air Corp. Utility Knife of WW2

They sure did, Cal, the #88 Lok-Rancher @ 4¼" closed with a button lock on the clip master.

Interestingly, the whole line of those knives have 1095 blades except the Lok-Rancher, which has 440B (Sword Steel) blades.

The blade combination on the 93 is so nice that with Schrade USA gone, I figured I should have two.

A Jack with a thin slicey blade plus a short stout blade, in a word... heavenly !

 

[Old Hunter]

with Schrade USA gone, I figured I should have two.

At the very least! As close to the do-it-all pocketknife as I will ever come - two nice examples there. OH

 

[redsparrow]

LOL, thanks, Bruce. You are right, I should have written at least two.
Have a good evening, my friend.
