    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.

      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+/-.
