Camillus Camper, 30-06 CCC ?

Was up in Bismark ND this weekend, Stopped in a local gun shop, found this for 30.00, New. I bought it, because of what it contained. However the more research I have done, the stranger it seems. It is marked, "C.C.C. - .30-06 SPRG", however, it just doesn't look like the same tooling or die was used that was used of the CCC set of 7 knives. The box it came with is marked "27B" and their is a bar code sticker marked, "#27 SCREWDRIVER". Blades look like SS, but not marked anywhere. Jays Knives call this a "5 blade Scout". Perhaps it's just me, I would call it a camper, because of the, 'Bottle' Opener. (Of course their is Root Beer). Anyway, this a plane Jane Cammillus, or something hard to find? Will depend on if I put it in my, 'Box', or EDC it. Thanks

Hey Tom, The knife you have was done in the late 90's, with the success of the Camillus Classic Cartridge bone handle series of knives, they decided to make a few lower end delrin handled everyday carry knives in a series, much like what Remington was doing around that time, I do not remember exactly how many different patterns were in the series, but I believe maybe 4 patterns. Just like all the Camillus knives from the original New York factory there is interest from collectors, If this is your EDC pattern, carry it and enjoy....

Thanks Steve. All info helps ! And when I carry it, it's in a sheath. Unless someone wants it for their collection, then will trade it for a: Swiss Army Realtree AP Blaze Ranger 55.
