    The 61 is one of my faves. Yours has some of the best looking sawcut delrin handles I've seen.

    These were contracted out to Camillus. You can see the pins through the bolsters. Normal old timers weren’t made that way. Excellent knives.

      This would also account for the fact the blades are stainless steel but no + on the tang stamp

      @@ThriftyKaniffythe knife arrived today, totally happy with it, but I wasn’t paying attention to the knife and got a chineese made knife. Very nice fit and finish, probably the best if the chi-com knives I have. Better (gapping wise) then most of my US made knives. Go figure 🤷‍♂️
      After the dust settles from Christmas spending I will search for a US made knife. Still happy with my purchase as it is residing in my pocket with a new leather slip as we speak.
