US USMC C5 Pocket Folding Knife Camillus Dated 1993

The US USMC C5 Pocket Folding Knife, manufactured by Camillus and dated 1993, is a utility folding knife issued for use by the United States Marine Corps. The C5 design features a robust stainless steel blade that folds neatly into a durable handle, intended for tasks ranging from cutting rope to general field utility. The handle is typically made of textured synthetic material for a secure grip under various conditions. The tang is clearly marked with the Camillus name and the date “1993,” indicating the year of manufacture and enabling identification for collectors. This knife adheres to the specifications set by military contracts at the time and reflects typical design elements seen in late-20th-century US military pocket knives. It was produced for practical use rather than ceremonial purposes, making it representative of standard-issue gear distributed to USMC personnel during the early 1990s.
