[QUOTE="Simon, post: 2165829, member: 20159"] Camillus made several different types of knives for the military in the '50 and '60, and possibly before. I have 2 folders marked Camillus from my Army days, one a linemans knife that came as a set with a pair of pliers, and a stainless steel boy scout type with can opener, screw driver, etc. I have not seen one like your pictures, but the knives were issued to specific job types. The linemans knife was issued to people who installed telephones, the boy scout type was issued to Rangers(I traded for it). The 82nd airborne all carried straight blade knives, but were purchased by the individual, and were many different brands. I would suspect that yours was was not made for the millitay, but was sold in a sporting goods store. [/QUOTE]
