Sorry, I don't know too much about these ones.  I'm sure someone here will be able to help though.

One thing I found though, Camillus is actually better than I thought they were. When they went out of business  and then off shore I assumed they went the way of Schrade, but I have a newer Camillus knife and it's not too bad.

Any US made Camillus, in good condition, is definitely worth the money you spent.

Looks like a very nice lockback  :tu:

2xtap should have been able to help you but he has not been here for some time now...

Send him a PM and see what happens.

Bear in mind that these companies made many knives for other companies too, that they may not have in their official catalogues..

Looks like this was a non-standard knife thrown together when Camillus was going out of business. Thanx everyone.

It reminds me of being similar to one of the Harley Davidson knives I've seen before, presumably made by Camillus. :tu:
