Picked up for knives today, I am pretty sure at least 2 are real, and the other two I am not totally sure about. The two I am pretty sure about have 2 blades, black plastic handles, a loop, marked Camillus New York, and has a almost flat edge blade with a flat tip that has a brass piece to lock it in place. Another I havethat I am not real sure on has all the same features but is sharpened more so more of the blade is gone, has wood handles, and is marked Utica with some fine print below. The next has black bone or imitation bone handles, is made by some name like BOKER, it is hard to see the name, has 4 blades, a big blade, a small blade, and a can opener and bottle opener. I know the Navy had some like this but not sure. Any info is great appriciated. I basicall all but stole them at a yardsale w00t.gif

Bank:

 

It is hard to diagnose what you have without pics. Perhaps you could post some of your finds.

 

From your description it sounds to me as if the first two blades are the TL-29 pocketknife originally designed for use by Signal Corpsmen. Th smaller blade is actually a screwdriver/wire stripper. These knives were a component of the CS-34 leather pouch that also carried a TL-19 pair of pliers.

 

The 4-blade knife sounds like a version of the Engineer's knife that was made in large quantities and in many variations. There are also many similar civilian knives as this is basically the Boy Scout knife pattern.

 

Again, pics would help us help you.
