I have here 2 knives marked Camillus. One is genuine nam navy issued, the other recently bought.
My question is the questionable one just a camillus knife made in the 90s as a nod to their past or totally fake

Right one is real, look at those wear marks.

Camilus made mkiis for a long time, some for military contract and some for the civilian market

Grind is different

I have two Camillus knives. One is a Ka-Bar like the one on the left. Both of those knives hold an edge incredibly well for how inexpensive they were.
>>
>>31791549
Yea left has a secondary bevel, right bevel is all the way to a single razor edge
>>
>>31791492
Correct, the wear makes it a bit obvious.
Also note how crisp the lines defining the flat, swedge, and "blood groove"
>>
>>31791414
Left is your "fake". Looks newer than "nam navy issue" to me.

Don't see why it would matter. What do you even mean by a fake?
>>
>>31791596
Since the original Camillus is an amazing knife, I wanted to get another one that I could use without remorse (orignal was grandfathers, having sentimental value)
>>
>>31791660
Okay, then baby the original and just abuse the shit outta the other one. Still don't see why it would matter if it was "fake". It's either a Camillus and it gets the job done or it isn't and doesn't.

Kabar shaped knives are fucking terrible teenbro shit
>>
the both look like shitty knives
>>
>>31791694
the purchase was sold as a genuine mark 2

I too have a knife from nam, my grandpa carried it in his boot through the war.

>blood groves
nice meme fag its called a fuller and has nothing to do with blood. Its just for balance and saving of material.(it also cuts down on vibrations but that's really a sword thing).
>>
>>31791707
Except its what the government issued soldiers in the war.
"teenbro" tell that to a veteran see how cool you look
>>
>>31791765
yea notice the " " framing blood groove
no shit
>>
>>31791744
Well you see, that's some important context that was missing in the OP.
>>
Not a bad knife. Paid $20.00 for it new in the 80's. Used it camping all over the place. Batoned the hell out of it- I guess it never got the message that it was supposed to break.
>>
>>31791833
which you bought new, one pictured left?
