Camillus OVB
Does anyone have a Camillus Fisk bowie? I managed to get 4 of the SouthWest Bowies, 2 in Amboina and 2 in Maple before the rush for Camillus knives hit hard and prices went thru the roof.
I wanted the mid sized bowies also, but lack of money made me wait, and waiting made me not get them.
Intended to be users, they now sit NIB with my stash of Beckers, Rats and other big blades.
Since they were already kinda expensive even when in production, Camillus going under hasn't made the price go up very much.
Maybe someday I will use them, or maybe they will finish someone elses collection.
I don't have a place to display knives, and so have about 10 medium size boxes full of Camillus and Schrade knives sitting in my bedroom,,, seems a waste.
If I can ever move, that might change,,, One room, all for knives,,, my dream.

I have 2, both in maple, large #250 and #500. Unusual to get that kind of sequence. If I ever have to I'd use them
with total confidence.
