Ok everyone, like Lyle said- there sure has been some outstanding Knives posted as of late! These Knives here one could be forgiven for walking by without taking all that much interest in them because of the relatively plain handles on them, but please...keep walking by so I can pick these up!!! Camillus is one of the top shelf Manufacturers, when they want to make a good Knife- I doubt there would be many that would overcome the fine workmanship that Camullis has displayed many times over now.
apart for the Pearl the other two Knives present them selves as fairly plain..... until you pick them up!
Camillus from the early 20's ( only for a very short time ) made some exceptional Stainless Knives and these are indeed exceptionally built!
Tang Stamped Stainless cutlery, Camillus's wee secret Sub Trade Mark made the Yellow Composite Handled Knife as well as the Pearl, the walk and talk on these two Knives is just simply superb, The build of the extremely compacted Pearl Whittler is outstanding, this Pearl is an extremely nice Knife!
The Yellow Handled Knife is quite Plain, a Spear main and a secondary Pen, nice Swage work that isn't massive by any means - but just everything is tight, and perfect, handling this Knife you Know you have a very good Knife in your hands!Totally, for a 90 year old Knife I think this Knife is looking pretty good!( Good sized as well @ 3& 1/2 inches )
We had the pleasure of Cal showing us some Pearl beauties a while ago, which started off a Pearl run, so here's me nearly two weeks late to the Party, and Darn!!! when a Good Whittler comes up that is built so wonderfully - that's a Knife to Treasure - I am so glad I obtained this beauty! a wonderfully built, and wonderfully decorated Knife! Pearl Fires away with some brilliant colours, I just could not capture these today with the grey dark day.Nice etch, nice Swage work, great Mill work to the Liners - a classy wee Knife for sure at a peek over 3 inches closed.
Check out just how Beffy that Main is- a very stout Main Blade!
Not only beautiful Swage work, but this shot shows the Tang Stamps you will get from both these Knives...
The other Knife is something a " little Cool", Camillus Rotary Club, I have picked this Knife up and handled it - open and closed it and put it down, my mind keeps going back to the Knife so I do the same, and them the same!!! this is a really well built wee Camillus here!
This isn't a Stainless Stamped Knife - rather your "ordinary" Camillus, but what beautiful actions on this Knife!! I think I am rather in love with this Knife- its a Beauty for sure, superb workmanship stealthy in plain clothes! I just may carry this great knife!
