Camillus had a good long history. I for one hated to see it go. There are seven Camillus knives within my reach at the moment.
I watched the video.This is a sad tale of another cutlery company that has closed its doors.I then referenced the location of Camillus Cutlery in Camillus,New York.I realized that I had passed that city many times when I was a young kid on our way to visit relatives who lived in Oswego,New York.So close yet so far.LOL

This is both cool to watch and a bit sad as well.
. I wish they could talk!
This is good read on the history of the companyhttp://www.collectors-of-camillus.us/History/Camillus%20History.pdfand cool websitehttp://www.collectors-of-camillus.us/
The more I read the more its a bummer they didn't make it to today. Shame the building burned too. I did like how the one guy continues on making knives. Kinda funny how knives are still being sent to the old factory for warranty work.

My guess is outside of hard core knife people very few folks who are still carrying a Camillus knife know the Company finally went under in 07.
I have a few. The good ones are really good, even at 60 years old. The bad, well, if all their products were perfect then they would have still been in business.
Dean51 @Spartan. It would be great to have bought up all the Camillus stuff and relaunch them. Its unfortunate how fickle the knife community is. Its darned if you do and darned if you don't. GEC might have it right? Case is slugging it out it seems and good for them.
