About Camillus
Camillus Cutlery Company is one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States. Ever since the company's inception and in the many, many years that follow - Camillus has been dedicated to producing the finest knives available. Regardless of whether or not you have used or owned a Camillus product, anyone who is into knife collecting certainly is aware of this company and their products. What some people are not aware of is the broad spectrum of Camillus' far-reaching expertise and the diverse knife markets they serve.
WORLD WAR I: SUPPORTING THE USA AND ITS ALLIES
As World War I got underway, many industries in the United States halted regular production in order to devote their time and effort to make products in support of the war effort. Camillus jumped into this production with both feet, manufacturing a total of 471,044 knives that were shipped off to the American forces and their allies (Canada, Dutch, and Great Britain) - though, the majority of the knives went to the allies. These knives included marlin spikes, surgical scalpels, and even a combination folding knife/spoon for the Red Cross. As you will see a little later on, the knives that Camillus made in support of World War II were a little different than those produced for World War I.
WORLD WAR II: RESUMING THE UNWAVERING SUPPORT
During World War II, Camillus picked up where they left off with WWI - producing knives that were used by the US and Allied forces. And they did so with a vengeance - between 1942 and 1945 more than 15 million knives were shipped off to the armed forces. These knives encompassed a broad range of styles - from large fixed blade fighters to multi-blade camp style, electrician's knives to sailor's marlin spike knives - these Camillus products no doubt played a role in helping the US and its allies succeed in the two wars. The following is just a small sampling of the extensive line of knives that were manufactured for the war efforts.
FUTURE
To this day, Camillus still remains the leading private label knife manufacturer. Over 20 different private label brands are produced along with the Camillus and Western products. Camillus has produced innovative products throughout their existence and are forging ahead into the new millennium with knives like the Cyber Knife, CUDA folder, and the CQB-1, with many more to come! Camillus' reputation has withstood the test of time. As one can see, Camillus is truly a "Quiet Giant of Knifedom".
