Falah, given the price, who owns the Camillus name now, the way they're advertised (you never see the pile side) and just the general "look" of the knives, I'd have to say they're made somewhere over in your neck of the woods.

Western Granpa TI 3-Blade Large Stag Pocket Knife (Folding) Take a look at that "Stag". Doesn't it just put you in mind of Schrades "Staglon"?
Granpa Style Design
Titanium Bonded® 440 Blades
Clip, Spey & Sheepfoot Blades
Lifetime Warranty

The prices of Asian made knives have been creeping up during the past year or so. Just look at the Colts and Marbles, they're almost twice the price of a Rough Rider. The ones available at A.G.Russell are a LOT more. I'll give you that the Russell knives are (according to those who have handled them) high quality but it's part of my point that prices for Asian made knives are on their way up and it's my opinion that in a few years, they will equal the prices of knives made in the USA (Russell already has).

Jerry,
I had the same tough (suspicion) too, I went to their dealers site, and they don't say where it was made too

the yello jacket line:
Yello-Jaket 2-Blade Premium Stockman Pocket Knife
Polished, Japanese AUS-8 steel blades. Carbon Fiber body accents. Etched Clip blade and Spey blade. Wood storage box included. Lifetime warranty.

oh well...I tough for a moment that Cammilus might have come back with all it's glory.

thanks again

Just because I expressed an opinion, that doesn't mean I'm right. In fact, more times than not, it goes the other way for me.

this was taken from their "About Us" page.

Come to your own conclusion. I did.

I'm pretty sure none are made IN Camillus.
