VG10 Camillus Drop Point, 18668 by Nutnfancy
The Camillus name is being used again...and there's a couple of good blades they're making. Here's one. This knife was suggested by a TNPr and he was correct in its upsides: razor sharp hollow ground VG10 steel, very lightweight pillar construction (only 3.0 oz), good thumbstud, black TiNi coating, and priced reasonably for around $45. This is the Camillus 7.25" G10 Model 18668 which stupidly lacks a good name. But it doesn't lack classic good looks and function as classy and very capable EDC blade. Speed and lockup are flawless. A downside would be its tip down clip that proved to be impossible to re-attach when bent in slightly for more gripping power. Camillus customer service replaced it quickly. Also it lacks any skeletonizing. However ergos are excellent with handsome milled and rounded G10 handles. Competitive options are shown, some better, some worse. With a two way positionable pocket clip (blackened) and skeletonizing this Camillus has the makings of a TNP Hall of Famer one day. As it stands now it will still make my BEST Knives Under $40 Playlist (price close enough)./////////////////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 8 out of 10 (pts gained for lightweight, pillar build, awesome steel)
