MiL-K Knife Collection

Just an FYI that my Son is currently selling my MiL-K collection on eBay. eBay ID jkeller1212

If anyone is needing a Camillus MiL-K for their collection, Joel will be listing all the Camillus made examples up to the year 2000 as well as few other makers.

The rarest being the 1949 Camillus. I believe Camillus only made about 20 of these 49 Mil-K's.

I had one issued to me for GW1, one of the perks working for a S&S company. Obviously not one of the rare ones from before Korea.

Just "won" one a little while ago. I don't collect them but they are interesting. Thanks.

Jim, Good deal. I will have Joel put a surprise with your new MiL-K. Another forum memmber won the 1958 MIL-K. Thanks guys. I really enjoyed finding these.

Thanks Eric. Can you point in the right direction to get more information about these knives? If so, much appreciated.

Jim, Using google, do a search on:

mil-k 1949 camillus knife information

Will do. Thanks!

Eric,

I won the 1958; I chased that one since it's the year I was born in.

Thanks for offering these. A wicked cool collection. I've been checking the listings for ones from the birth years of my sons. I'm watching the 1992s, but I haven't seen a 1998 listed yet.

Hello, Bob

Had my Son add a extra to yours too. They shipped this morning.

I'll check with Joel on the 98.

Thanks Eric.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Bob

Bob, I cannot find the 1998 Camillus, I thought I had one. I know I had one, but it is MIA today. I will continue to look. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family as well. We are all truly blessed and highly favored, we just need to realize it.

Eric, I've watched your auctions for these MIL-K 818 knives with a great intwrest, quite a collection, and a phenomenal price for the '49! Since you're clearly in the top of your field on these, perhaps you could answer a question. I have a few, maybe,10 of these knives. I've noticed one of my Imperials appears to be a 1969, with the second "9" clearly stamped over a "7". Have you seen one before? Perhaps, something of an oddity, or common,as they say? Again, great collection, many congrats!

Wally, First let me say thanks, they were a joy to find and haggle over. I was also shocked to see the price my Son realized on the 1949. He received a couple of quick offers in the $500 range when he first listed it. I told him that was a very good sign and to never sell early, better to wait and let the auction complete.

Your Imperial is fairly uncommon. I have seen a couple with your marking, there is also 1968 version with the "8" clearly stamped over a "7". In my opinion, the rarest Imperials to find are 1977-1979, very few were made.
