New US made Eagle Scout Camillus knives?

[eveled]

Anyone know anything about new American made Camillus Eagle Scout knives? This is a current article from the Eagle Scout magazine. Old Hunter posted it elsewhere and I was hoping someone here had info.

I think it is very much overvalued...

Lol! You are very diplomatic. I was biting my tongue on that because I am too blunt sometimes.

I was more interested in the location and by whom they are being made. This is the first hint of American made Camillus knives since the sale of Camillus. That I am aware of.

I wonder who actually makes them?

No, not the first. See here https://www.camillusknives.com/products/usa-knives.html
However, I do not like it .

Who now owns the Camillus brand name ? There are 6 F.B.'s listed as "Made In U.S.A." But, who is making them ? Blades look like 'offshore' type work with complex grinds.
What does "Made in U.S.A." mean ? Every country has it's own laws as to what constitutes "Made In".
Imported blade built into a finished knife, is this a "Made In U.S.A." knife ?

Acme United Corporation

There are 6 F.B.'s listed as "Made In U.S.A."

I do not know what is this. Can you post a photo?

Thanks Vit. I figured there might be something I was unaware of. That’s why I put the “As far as I know”.

F.B. Just means fixed blade. He is referring to the knives in your link. I just noticed the prices on those knives. Getting close to Randall prices!

They don’t look American made to me. I’d like to see a street address for this factory. The whole thing smells bad.

If they are using the Eagle Scout name and reputation to sell overpriced Chinese blades assembled in the US. Then shame on them for taking advantage of other Scouts.

I really hope this is not the case.

Thanks eveled. I don't know much about the assortment of the new Camillus.

I completely agree.

In my opinion, this is not like a knife made in US. And I definitely will not buy it for $ 150.
