Camillus - 18-XRAY™ - SAS™ Automatic - (Collector's Item) - USA
(This is a New Knife)
Very Rare - Only 100 Made!

AW- 18XRAY

The 18-XRAY™ was the last new knife model developed by Camillus Knives before they closed. Designed by Darrel Ralph, the 18-XRAY™ had a new patend pend automatic locking system called the SAS™ "Speed Auto Safety", where you slide the push button forward and down, making this design one of the safest and easiest opening automatic knives ever developed.

The 18-XRAY™ model was slated to be released right at the time Camillus was closed. Industry field reports on this new model touted it as the BEST NEW AUTOMATIC by the once dominating brand. This knife design was immediately picked up by the innovative knife company, Meyerco, and is being sold as the 18-XRAY™. The model being offered here is a brand new production prototype. Here is a chance to own a piece of knife industry history, Camillus Cutlery's last great gasp.

Thanks for the info.Any idea of value?

A little misleading!

Around 700 were made; 500+ had partially serrated blades, 100+ had plain edge blades.

Still, a very rare Camillus!

Thanks Phil, I am always glad to have your input.
Was this one of your projects at Camillus?

Me too Phil, it's a real privilege to have somebody close to the old company give us the inside scoop.
