New knife to me question
I recently purchase a box of 8 Camillus knives. All individually wrapped in soft plastic tubes and taped with a product sticker and all are Camillus stamped knives. My question is the tang stamp is "Camillus - Made in the USA" and that is all that is on the tang of any of the blades. (see photos). Can anyone tell me how old they are? and maybe the story about the tang stamp?

Looks like the stamp they used the last year's before they ceased operation.

That's what I was thinking. It looks like an end of days stamp and knife to me.

It still doesn’t look ,like the old stamp from 2007 and I haven’t in looked at the newer stamp when Acme United bought it around 2010, they are still making knives today I think, don’t know what style they are making though.

I don't think Acme's making any kind of traditional Camillus knives, they're all tactical modern style.

I noticed that earlier, but I didn’t know if they did put a few out 8 or 9 years ago.. but they probably are staying with the tactical stuff
