The News from ElephantToenails.com

If you are an eBay watcher then you have undoubtly noticed the decent quality toenails going off there lately. Late today, another knife friend passed on one to me that has just been added.

While Camillus doesn’t seem to rank up there with Platts, Case Brothers, Napanoch and W R Case & SON and the other grade A Brands, Camillus is still a fine brand and one that should move up a notch or two with them shutting down in 2006.

While I do I a number of them, I am not a Camillus expert, but from what I have read it seems the 4 line is the older model.

This one is worth checking out-

I know I am a week behind posting about these blades, but my internet service has been offline at home since last Tuesday. We are going crazy. My son, middle daughter and I am at my office today (Sunday afternoon). They are big WOW players and have their weekly raids shortly.

I saw these blades last week before the auction ended and thought it would be cool to add them to the ol’ collection. Needless to say, it is hard to buy online with you are offline. My guess is they sold to a knife maker.

It was a set of elephant toenail blades. I agree with the seller that they look like Catt blades.

How often can you find toenail blades that haven’t been tang stamped or drilled for the pin and are unsharpened, literally.

If you have ever wondered what an honestly full masterblade looks like- here is the fullest of full. Don’t you just love to see how it bows (bulges) out near the tip. You won’t find many used toenails with truly full blades, except for every now and then.

I need some help! Would a Cattaraugus expert please come forward to answer this question for me.

I’ll pose it to the group here- “Just how many pins does it take to pin handles on a Catt toenail?”

I thought I had seen it all on Catt toenails. I’ve seen toes with 3 pins, 4 pins and 5 pins, but now there is a 7 pin?! The most interesting aspect of this knife is it is at a pretty fair price of $355 on eBay so far, so maybe it is just me. I have never seen any toe with 7 pins before now that I can think of it.
