Jennings Lane Posted July 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2016 ARE THESE CAMILLUS M-3's REAL? New? What era? I know these have been reproduced all over the world. What's the story on these two? Thanks for your input. Always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted July 19, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2016 Yes Modern made. The single pin on the pommel and the leather sheaths are a couple signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Lane Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted July 19, 2016 Doyler, Are they made by Camillus or just a total knock-off? Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactroop Posted July 20, 2016 Share #9 Posted July 20, 2016 Some are willing to pay more for these than other makers now that they aren't made anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltusma Posted July 20, 2016 Share #10 Posted July 20, 2016 Your very welcome Andy They make a good users.I have known guys to carry these in Iraq or Afghanistan and I sold one here to a forum meber who may have taken one there..Not sure how they held up. They are well made knives. I carried one on my first Iraq deployment in an original M8 scabbard. Held up well for the limited uses I had like opening ammo crates and MRE boxes.

waltusma Posted July 20, 2016 Share #14 Posted July 20, 2016 Is that a little "out going care packagel" for the not so friendly locals? Pretty much. Just an illumination round since in '09 it was difficult to shoot much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted July 20, 2016 Share #16 Posted July 20, 2016 Absolutely what Ron said. That is a great picture Walt! So many years after the M3 was designed there it is again serving our servicemen in another war. Very cool. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
