About: The blades were produced by Camillus Cutlery in their factory in New York for AG Russell Knives. The blades were sent to AG Russell who customized and finished the knives in house in their AR facility and sold them through their catalogs in the late 1990 or early 2000s. These particular blades are the last ones that were never finished and have been in storage for 20+ years.
From the Camillus catalog describing the OVB Fisk Bowie:
In the years between the turn of the century and World War Two, Camillus Cutlery was responsible for producing what was considered one of the finest quality knife lines of the day-OVB. OVB is an acronym for "Our Very Best". These knives were elegant designs crafted of the finest materials available at the time. In addition, the best craftsmen the factory had under its roof were picked to build them. For 2002 we are resurrecting this grand old brand of knives.
This time we have selected Master Bladesmith Jerry Fisk one of the worlds finest custom makers for the design and testing of the first OVB product in over sixty years, The Fisk Presentation Bowie. The second installment of the Fisk OVB Bowie is the perfect fixed blade addition for the serious knife collector as only five hundred of this model will be produced in 2002. This knife is a presentation version of Mr. Fisk's signature midsize Bowie, the Comanchero, a timeless design that is practical for a variety of uses.
