Cuda by CAMILLUS?

[Paladin]

Guys,
I posted this question over in the Camillus section but maybe I shoulda posted it here.

I have this fixed blade knife that I am told is a Camillus. Blade length is 5¾ inches and the OAL is almost 11 inches.
Anybody here recognize this as a Camillus. It doesn't say so on the knife anywhere I can see.
As always, any info will be appreciated.

Ray, I believe what you have there was manufactured by Meyerco. That is the CQB1 of the Terzuola/Meyerco collaboration. He did at least one with CRKT which looks much different . Am unaware of a Camillus collaberation. [But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.]

Further research revealed that in fact Camillus did do a collaboration with Teruzola which looks very similar to yours. Yours is 5 3/4 the Meyerco is 5.8. Your length matches the Camillus. The handle is polypropylene while the Meyerco is micarta. Both are shown with a Kydex type sheath.
Looks to me that you have the Camillus model.

OK and good! Thanks so much QS.
I just couldn't find anything on it. I appreciate the help.

I was going to say the same. Camillus. I found where one like yours sold on fleabay for $90.00. With a kydex sheath.

Guys,
My sheath is canvas. I suspect mine is a little older than most of those seen on the bay and such.

That green and black sheath matches what Camillus was using for the Becker line.

Camillus' first CQBs came out shortly after SHOT show in 2002. March or April of that year.

Camillus...definitely Camillus.

When I saw your fixed blade Cuda, it reminded of this Camillus Cuda folder that I purchased 20 or so years ago.

Apart from the manufacturing questions, Bob Terzuola's designs have always been popular with real world "operators," which made his reputation in South America. An original Terzuola is the final grail knife for me, now unobtainable because of the cost.
