Our earlier post from 2007 reported the closing of this well known knife manufacturer. As to whether or not the new production knives will meet the same standards by which their previous knives were known, will remain to be seen – but we are hopeful. Below is a screenshot of the company website as it exists on 4/19/2010.

Visitors can add their email address to Camillus’ Database to be updated when the new knives become readily available. We at TheKnifeWarehouse.com are excited about the prospect of carrying Camillus Knives once again.

Benchmade Logo



According to this recent press release put out by Benchmade, the Oregon company has decided to open a retail space at their current headquarters in Oregon City, OR. Sweet – too bad we’re 1,400 miles away!

They plan to sell knives at full retail while offering discontinued items you will have a difficult time finding anywhere else. Wouldn’t it be great if Benchmade took the approach Krispy Kreme took and offered free knives hot off the line just for visiting? I know… I’m comparing donuts to knives… but you know you smiled.

If you are fortunate enough to visit opening day (January 15th) or shortly thereafter, send us your comments; photos and videos – even better!.

Victorinox (now owners of Wenger) finally acknowledges that they have been discriminating against knife-loving, tool toting hippies for years. Their response? To design a knife especially for the hippie… or at least the hippie resident in many of us. That’s right… the same Swiss Army knife you’ve come to know and love – with tie dyed handles.

Swiss Army Knife - tie dyed - GreenSwiss Army Knife - tie dyed - PurpleSwiss Army Knife - tie dyed - PinkSwiss Army Knife - tie dyed - Orange

Available in four colors – Green, Purple, Pink and Orange. These knives show promise in bringing the older generation together with the younger one in an interesting way. Maybe that’s going a little far – but we’re excited for the improved model rumored to debut soon with the roach clip in place of the scissors and a screen repository instead of a nail file.

Beginning Sept 17th, Camillus Cutlery, er what’s left of it, (camillusknives.com) was auctioned off via Stampler Auctions (stamplerauctions.com).  Roughly 150 bidders, present and via proxy, bid on remaining equipment, according to a Syracuse.com report (view article)

The question remains, and is continually posed by our customers at http://www.theknifewarehouse.com/, ‘Will Camillus knives ever see the light of day again?’ The answer is actually a hopeful one, albeit unclear.  According to RTTNews.com (view article) Acme United Corp. has acquired the Camillus Cutlery brand name and all of its patents. And Acme United’s Chairman and CEO, Walter Johnson, said, “We intend to reestablish the Camillus brand into production and continue to deliver high quality products. We hope to slowly build revenues as we reconnect with customers. This will be a careful undertaking.”

However, an apparently contradictory account was reported in a more recent Sept 22nd  article asserting that knife patterns from Camillus models will begin appearing in the catalogs of Ontario Knife Company (www.ontarioknife.com) and Bear & Son Cutlery (www.bearandsoncutlery.com) as early as next year. It was reported that the knives would not bear the Camillus name as previously assumed.  So, while the question of whether the models scheduled for production will bear the Camillus trademark is still uncertain, it appears as though Camillus Cutlery knives may survive.  One large loss, however, is the jobs of those faithful employees who stood by a company whose roots spread back as far as World War I – we wish you the best. And, one last ‘Cheers’ to the makers of Camillus knives, who once upon a time made many a fine tool - a tool a number of us will continue to use for years to come.
