Camillus Knives

As one of America's oldest, and largest, pocket knife manufacturers, Camillus Cutlery has answered the call for quality knives since 1876.

Today we've built a global reputation which reaches far beyond pocket knives, with four distinct brands: Camillus Knives, Western Knives, CUDA and Becker Knife and Tool (BK&T).

The Camillus Cutlery Company is an all-American company with humble beginnings.

From its birth in a one-story building and 20 employees, it has expanded today to a company with 6 buildings filled with nearly 200 employees and a host of state of the art manufacturing equipment.

Though the passage of time has brought forth changes in production techniques and the welcome addition of hi-tech manufacturing equipment, the commitment is still the same - to produce the best possible knives that anyone will be proud to own and use.

Located on the same site since its inception on the banks of the Nine Mile Creek, Camillus Cutlery Company possesses a rich history that envelops manufacturing excellence throughout the years - providing quality cutlery for home, farm, hunting/fishing, and our armed forces.

And Camillus still exhibits the same commitment and passion for making quality lockback knives as they did back in 1876, under the guidance of company president James W. Furgal. Says Furgal, "At Camillus we strive daily to make the very best knives possible.

Our rich heritage of knifemaking here at 'The Cutlery', and our advancements in technology and production have blended together to provide the end-user with what we feel is a product that is an exceptional value and worthy of passing down through the generations".

Camillus' skilled craftsmen produce more than 2 million knives annually, including lockback hunters, cartridge series, one handed openers, Yello-Jacket, American Wildlife Series, Buckmaster and the OVB Series. An impressive amount for any company. Speaking of the dedicated men and women that make up Camillus Cutlery, some of them are third and fourth generation employees, carrying on the work of their ancestors. Real dedication.
