Camco Ireland?

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Camco Ireland?

Post by cody6268 »

I'm used to Camcos being made in two countries, the USA and China (towards the very end of Camillus). I just ordered a small lot of knives, and threw this in to offset the shipping. I bought it because of its clip point blade, but didn't notice "Ireland" stamped as the country of origin. I have never seen an Irish Camco--tons of Irish Imperials though.

So, what's the story with these? I have never had a bad Irish Imperial (an Irish Tradesman TM-2 and a Swiss-type knife are still in my EDC), so hopefully this is of similar quality.
