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.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.
Looking for Carrier Cutlery and early Robeson with Elmira tang stamps.
Wow, the Sta-Sharp Cattle knife 9525, what a great old knife. Sta-Sharp knives are hard to find in unused condition. Workmen bought them to use along with other Craftsman tools. That was back when Craftsman tools were often the very best available.

Here's my well-used Lipic. I bought it in this condition and I carry it every day. What a handy knife! Just the right size for a "small knife" in my opinion, and bearing three very useful tools : blade, screwdriver, and caplifter. I need to give it the spa treatment!

Good morning everyone. Picked this Clover Brand Syracuse stockman up recently. All in all it’s in good shape. Hope everyone’s day starts off well.
