Show Us Your Camillus Knives!

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.

Dog, those off brand knives (as in brands you don’t actively go after) will pile up on ya without you even realizing it! Looks like you’re well on your way to being a Camillus collector!

Well like Smitty said in previous post “ Camillus are like potato chips,can’t have just one. Received these 2 long line ,a 83 and 69 . The 69 needs a cleaning ,sharpening and maybe will get a shield for it. Doesn’t matter on that one as it’ll be a user. The little 83 is a little go to town knife ,it’s not a no line like Doglegg snagged a while back,but these little guys with etch and milled steel liners don’t come around in good shape often . So here you go, my latest potato chip fix. Catch you all later . ::tu::
