Cammilus Cutlery Club

Post by Cayuga »

Hello all, I'm new to AAPK. I have questions about the Camillus Cutlery Club because I'm trying to search for items from the club.

When Camillus was pretty much in its death troughs the company formed a company-sponsored knife club along the lines of the current Case Collectors Club or the defunct Ka-Bar Collectors Club. I know they offered a club knife and a couple of special editions plus the assorted club stuff like tee-shirts, caps, brochures, newsletters, etc. Cannot find any info on this club, as if it didn't exist. I'm searching for the club knife. All I know is that it was a relatively cheap pocket knife but I don't have any more particulars about it. Has anyone heard of this club? Thanks.
