<p>It looks very much like those cheap $5 "fish knives" made in the 1950-70s. However, if you look closely, it has , a top mounted bail, bolsters and a locking blade.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This particular model uses steel through out its construction (including pins and liners). The use of steel and the 4 line Camillus tang stamp help to date the knife to WWII issue (most likely 1943-45). Camillus supplied these knives for use as part of the emergency bail out kits for U.S. Air Crews. They are basically a folding bird and trout knife and were to be used by downed flyers in survival situations.</p>

<p>Specifications:</p>
<p>Maker: Camillus</p>
<p>Country of manufacture: USA</p>
<p>Type: Army and Navy Air Corps Emergency Fishing Knife</p>
<p>Length (closed): 5 inches (12.7 cm)</p>
<p>Blades: (one) Modified California Clip w/ fish scaling spine</p>
<p>Blade Length: 4 inches (10.16 cm) from frame. 3.75 (9.5 cm) inch cutting edge</p>
<p>Blade Steel: Carbon Steel, most likely 1095</p>
<p>Liners: Carbon Steel</p>
<p>Liner lock: Carbon Steel</p>
<p>Scales: black jigged hard plastic</p>
<p>Bolsters Steel (Bottom bolster acts as hook remover)</p>
<p>Bail: Bent, heavy gauge steel wire.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Overall condition is quite good for its age. There is some blade wobble but not enough to prevent use. The liner lock works but it there is still some blade movement when open. Some rust and pitting. Scales are well pinned and very tight with minor warping. I wonder if this plastic is similar to Case's gumfuddy.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As you might expect, I'm really happy and excited to have finally snagged this unsung hero of WWII!</p>
