According to CamillusKnives.com – Camillus Knives are back. 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.

Though we can no longer refer to the E.T. from Kershaw as “new” – we can refer to its unique design as new to the industry. It won Blade Magazine’s “Most innovative American Design” in 2005. Why are we writing about it now? Kershaw has supplied us with a nice little animation of the E.T. opening – we’ve included it below. If you haven’t seen it, here is your chance at the next best thing to seeing the Kershaw E.T. knife in person.

You got it! 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.
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.
