Camillus info?

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.

Camillus info?

Post by bobby d »

Hi, I started collecting some camillus knives, but I can't seem to find any books, pricelists, pictures etc. Anyone out there have some resources? Was there a book specifically for camillus knives? Been on e-bay and really don't like bidding on things I don't know the value of. Thanks

The books on Camillus have yet to be written.
If you hang around this forum you can ask questions to the former employees of Camillus.
Tom Williams (CAMCO) was the company historian & is now with the Camillus NY Historical Society, (I believe that is the proper name of the organization).

Phil Gibbs is another member who worked for Camillus.

Perhaps Tom or Phil knows of a book on Camillus.

I see Mountainwind gave you a link to Larry's site... ::tu::

I should've thought about that as well, but was focusing more on books... :oops: ::doh::

Here is some archived information...

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://camillusknives.com

...be patient, as some pages don't load all the time... ::shrug:: ...but, if you spend some time, there is still a bunch of good information from the last ten years or so.
