gunbarrel Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share #151 Posted July 12, 2014 ka bar, Your kind words are much appreciated--thank you! I enjoyed doing it and would like to do more, but I haven't had the time in the past few months. BTW, love those Australian and New Zealand WWII blades! Link to post Share on other sites
1SG_1st_Cav Posted July 12, 2014 Share #152 Posted July 12, 2014 Okay, lets put this puppy to bed. For comparison, here is a close-up of my 1-1967 Camillus. And yes it has the gray paint on top of the pommel. Link to post Share on other sites

sactroop Posted September 9, 2014 Share #154 Posted September 9, 2014 Can't help you with the knife but the sheath looks correct for an early 70's Government issue type. The knife does not. Link to post Share on other sites
gulfinc Posted September 9, 2014 Share #155 Posted September 9, 2014 could this be a fake?? Link to post Share on other sites
1SG_1st_Cav Posted September 10, 2014 Share #156 Posted September 10, 2014 It looks like some of the Japanese Pilot Survival knifes I've had in the past. And the sheath looks like a typical post 1970s US made sheath Link to post Share on other sites
gunbarrel Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share #157 Posted September 11, 2014 could this be a fake?? I would classify it more like a copy, or a replica. As a collector, when I think of a fake, I think of something made to deceive...to pass it for the real thing. Like the guys already stated, the sheath appears legitimate, while the knife appears to be a Japanese, or a non-communist Chinese replica. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Shot Posted October 31, 2014 Share #158 Posted October 31, 2014 This is the first military knife I owned. It's marked Ontrario, 10-76 Link to post Share on other sites
Leighman1964 Posted November 25, 2014 Share #159 Posted November 25, 2014 Great thread! New guy here...I cannot upload a pic as it states "too big" (if someone can help, please PM me)... I'm having trouble ID'ing the following... CAMILLUS, NY marked on blade...no date on pommel nut (pinned not peened)....metal finish is all a matte-silver (not shiny like a chromed #1010)...typical sheath but with polished snap/rivets (stitched with brown thread). Smooth varnished handle (just like a #1010 Astronaut) AND a non-fullered blade like those found on commemoratives. Any ideas??? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy357 Posted February 12, 2015 Share #160 Posted February 12, 2015 Hi Guys A recent addition to my Australian Military Knives collection is another JPK. This time by Camillus. This knife was issued to an Australian Soldier in 1990. It has his name marked on it. It still has the factory bag it came in. It doesn't look like it was ever used much. So I now know that the JPK's by both Ontario and Camillus were issued to the Australian Military. Regards Dutchy Link to post Share on other sites
sactroop Posted February 12, 2015 Share #161 Posted February 12, 2015 Dutchy, I can't be certain but 3-1985 is the most recent dated Camillus pommel I've been able to run across so far. Including yours it puts my observed total to five. Still looking though. Link to post Share on other sites
camillus Posted March 1, 2015 Share #162 Posted March 1, 2015 Hi, I'd like to share my nicest JPK a sweet early 60s blackened knife and sheath Link to post Share on other sites
PASGT Posted October 19, 2015 Share #163 Posted October 19, 2015 I Decided to add my knifes in this topic. Both are Camillus manufactured 11-1968 and 10 -1970 dated. Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Posted December 9, 2015 Share #164 Posted December 9, 2015 I just picked up a 5" JPK. Blued blade and scre on pommel. Marked on one side of blade "MM-10-74" over "JAPAN". Issue or puchase? Anyone help? THanks. Link to post Share on other sites
1SG_1st_Cav Posted December 9, 2015 Share #165 Posted December 9, 2015 Japan made copies of the JPK. They are also made by China and you can buy them for about $10. They are OK to throw in your tackle box. Link to post Share on other sites

Stony Posted December 27, 2015 Share #169 Posted December 27, 2015 All the Camillus knives in this thread seem to have a 6" blade. However, I have recently seen the same type with a longer blade. Has anyone seen one of these? Are they rare? Link to post Share on other sites
1SG_1st_Cav Posted December 27, 2015 Share #170 Posted December 27, 2015 The late 1950s to early 1960's were mostly the 6" bladed survival knives. Everything I've seen that were made after 1962 were 5" blades. I'm sure our resident experts will jump in on this conversation. BTW, I have two survival knives with no dates that have 6" blades. Happy New Year! Link to post Share on other sites
Stony Posted December 27, 2015 Share #171 Posted December 27, 2015 The late 1950s to early 1960's were mostly the 6" bladed survival knives. Everything I've seen that were made after 1962 were 5" blades. I'm sure our resident experts will jump in on this conversation. BTW, I have two survival knives with no dates that have 6" blades. Thanks for the clarification on the blade length, I wasn't sure as I don't have one in my possession to refer to. What is the value on a six inch blade. I have an opportunity to buy one, but would like a ball park figure to go by. Link to post Share on other sites
1SG_1st_Cav Posted December 27, 2015 Share #172 Posted December 27, 2015 Stony: Condition is everything. A: Is the blade & the grip in good condition? B: Does it have the original sheath? C: Is the sheath in good condition? D: If yes to all of the above, then it would be in the $70 to $100 range. If not, you need to subtract from the price depending upon the number of negatives. If you can, send a picture of the knife and sheath and we'll see what feedback the experts can provide. Good Luck! Danny Link to post Share on other sites
Stony Posted December 27, 2015 Share #173 Posted December 27, 2015 No sheath, it's part of a survival vest along with the parachute knife made by Camillus. The vest is not marked and is probably theater made or modified. Link to post Share on other sites
cavtrpr340 Posted March 10, 2016 Share #174 Posted March 10, 2016 New guy here, was issued this knife while in the army. Ontario 9-87 pommel date. there was a big box of these in our unit supply room. they were issued to you if you ask for one. the old supply sergeant we had called them deployment knives. nothing rare or fancy about it but it was G.I.
