Hunting knife

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.

Hunting knife

Post by Chief RID »

I picked this knife up at a local sporting goods store a few weeks ago. It sparked me coming to this site and finding out about what is going on in the knife collecting world. I pulled out my old knives and started researching. Now I can't stop. I may have to go back and pick up the remaining Camillus knives they have on the shelf. This is sure fun.[img][/img]

If these are old stock U.S. made Camillus knives in the hardware store, grab 'em quick because when these are gone, there ain't no mo'. I bought 15 or 20 from a hardware store in Morehead City NC not long after Camillus shut down, but I wish now that I had gone in there with an open checkbook and got every last one.

Excellent Chief!
Camillus closed in 2007, 5 years ago so there not many left.
Camillus made millions of knives, so it is still possible to find a few from time to time, still on a store shelf.
