I didn't have that one exactly, but I had one like that. I'm going to look for it; I think I know where it is and post a photo.

Me! Me! I did, I did! (I still do have it now that I am thinking).

I had one just like that when I was six or seven years old. Unfortunately, mine is long gone.

Straydog, the ME 109 was a cool model. I built several of the World War II model airplanes when I was a kid. Back on the topic of the knife, I remember the blades on mine were tight and hard to open. Perhaps that's one reason I became interested in switchblades because of finger nails that broke from trying to open knives.

I had one of those as a kid. I remember I was throwing it, trying to get it to stick in a tree, and the blade tip snapped off. I was probably 7 or 8 years old at the time.

In think, when we were kids, we all had something similar

My first knife in 1967 or 68- It is an Ulster I got from a special offer from a Prince Albert tobacco tin my Granddad had.
They offered a 3-bladed Stockman,Barlow and this Camper.
Dad got the Barlow,my brother got the Stockman and I got the Camper.
Not sure but I think it cost a whopping 3.95.

Interesting that Missa posted this because I just found this a few day ago in my boxes of junk after all these years.
Never been sharpened,looks like real pick bone but I doubt it and good ole carbon steel.
Still fairly sharp after all this time.
Very proud of this knife.

Mine still holds a wicked edge.
something to be said for carbon steel

Seems I had a couple of those, at least. Really liked that spike or punch or whatever...Then somebody invented the pop-top and I couldn't find much use for it.
I do remember that knife taught me to love lock-backs. I had my last episode with it 50 years ago and I STILL have visible knuckle scars.

Mr. wunder ,
HOW OLD ARE WE.. Do refer to the old ring pull beer cans or the ones where one needed to use the can opener to "pop a top"
