Camillus Yello-Jaket Pocket Knife – USA Made – Carbon Fiber Handle Inlay – Original Wood Case – Circa 2000s

This modern Camillus Yello-Jaket two-blade folding knife is an exceptional example of the brand’s late-production craftsmanship before the original Camillus Cutlery Co. closed its doors in 2007. Precision-ground stainless blades, a slim profile, and that signature yellow carbon-fiber-look inlay make this a standout in the Yello-Jaket series. It’s housed in its original wood case, custom-fitted and branded—ideal for gifting or displaying.

A sleek, stainless steel frame holds the polished clip point and pen blades, both showing clean factory grinds and tight action. The fit and finish are excellent, with both blades snapping open and shut with a glide. "Yello-Jaket" is proudly etched into the main blade, while the spine and liners are clean and reflective.

Its factory-fresh condition and presentation box elevate it above most user-grade examples.
