Just arrived - Mint USMC Camillus MK2

It’s been a long drought for me. Until this week I haven’t bought anything worthwhile since May 5th and now here’s the second one this week.

I think the “been there, done that” MK2s will always be my favorites – the older the better. But yet the minty ones seem to have an allure all their own to me. Kind of like a Picasso or Rembrant that has managed to survive the times intact. That’s why I couldn’t resist this one. I just wish it was a Ka-Bar rather than a Camillus…….

 

Hope you enjoy the pics,

Art

That's a beauty.

 

A bit nostalgic to see this, I can remember seeing these in this shape at the gun shows I went to as a teenager (late-70s/early-80s)....had many an opportunity to pick one up with the tag and still in the wrap for $50.00.

usmce4- Nice knife! Thanks for showing. I like any MK2, Camillus, Ka-Bar, RCC, Utica, PAL, Ontario, have them all. Sooner or later I'll pick up an "MSI", or a Conetta. I like the Camillus because they were the first maker, and I have an original, mint, screw-pommel w/ USN marked leather sheath. Also is the fact I carried a Camillus MK2 most of my army career. Good knives! SKIP

Art, it's funny to think that it doesn't seem all that long ago when you introduced yourself here. I've been admiring your growing collection ever since.
