This is an extremely rare Camillus/ Santa Fe Stoneworks knife that was made as a prototype for sales--long ago, before Camillus closed its doors in 2007. The knife is a 3-1/8" single blade lock knife with a 2-1/8" drop point blade.

Here are some exerpts from that letter: "...Congratulations on getting
