US pilot knife part 2
Should I treat the handle with regular leather oil?

The short answer to your leather question is "yes" if it is dirty although the oil might darken up the leather. I have several of these knives and they are, as mentioned, very common and there are lots of "reproductions" out there also. The only way one of these is collectible is if you can establish the pilot history of the knife....other than that, they are not worth much more that what you paid for it. Having said that, they are nice little knives. 0 -
Camillus went bankrupt and closed its door forever in 2005. However, they made millions of those knives so they're pretty common. Just enjoy it for what it is. 0 -
It's my new camping/utility knife. I'm not trying to collect or fully restore it. I just want to clean it up nice and make sure it lasts. Having never owned one I wasn't sure the best way to go about it. Thanks for all the help.[:)] 0
