Camillus 33 Easy Open.1930s to 1945. (3.25 inches closed)
EDIT 04/24/24:
In researching the Camillus, I found out The Camillus 33 was one of two US Navy and Coast Guard issued Utility Knives during WW2. (the other one had a Marlin Spike.)
I don't know if this beauty was one of them.
I have been unable to find any Robeson military contract folding knives other than they were among the suppliers of the Signal Corp's TL-29 during WW2.
In both World Wars Robeson did supply some of the more important/ famous non folding "Fighting Knives" to the US military and her Allies.
QUESTION FOR ANY ROBESON EXPERT(s):
At 4 3/8 inches closed with a 3 3/8 inch main blade (bolster to tip) would the 622110 be considered a "large" or "extra large" jack knife, or a "folding hunter" like a similar size "Coke Bottle" or "coffin jack" was?
I have been unable to find any 622110 specific information on line.
