The post war year knives normally had Delrin or sometimes bone handles, brass pins and liners, nickel silver bolsters and 440A stainless steel blades. ![]() After WWII ended, Camillus continued to make Rigging knives for both commercial and military use. Often due to a shortage of brass, steel was also used for the bolsters and liners. Original Military issued rigging knives featured carbon steel blades and back springs with bone or plastic handles.
