There aren't any markings on it as fat as I can tell. What about it makes it a camillus?

Navy Pilot Knife from World War 2. It is a Camillus.

Pic related. It has simply been customized.

My bad for saying it was from the 50s at first. It is from the 40s.

I know you should have kept a better eye on it son, it's mine now

By the way, >>785254 here, these knives are actually westerns. Mine is stamped western, and you can go online and do a search for vintage western knives and find this one. Camillus bought western eventually, but I think it was in the 90s or something. They must have just been copying eachother before that.

You're all wrong. That's a Ka-bar.

>>785102
These type of knives were made by several companies in the 50s and 60s, one of the common names was "Buffalo skinner".

If you look at the blade shape it is obvious that this is not the same knife.
Hell, the only common feature is the stacked leather handle.

>>787461
Looks more like an alahu ack-bar

is that a bowie knife?

>>787487
This.

I had one with a horn handle years ago, gave it to a friends son who hunts way more than I do, he loves it and uses it often I hear.

>>785102
Holy shit I have the exact same knife that my grandpa gave to me

>>787461
Errr, no thanks.

>>785102
