I've narrowed this down to a Camillus knife. Looking for any more info I can receive. I am not an expert. What exactly IS this Camillus knife? What era or date can it be placed with? What might it be made of? Thank you.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Pilots Survival Knife. I believe from the 1950's to the 1970's, but not positive.

If the blade is 6" long it is 1962 or earlier; 5" is post-1962. After Viet Nam a ton of never-issued examples were sold as surplus. An as-new knife with sheath and stone can be bought for $50+/-.
