This may stray from the point of this being a Camillus forum, but then again how much of the fighting here doesn't? Have any of the former employees of Camillus given the idea of starting a new company any thought? I don't know how you could violate any laws unless you stole factory equipment and dies, which you may be able to buy in the near future anyway, and you could probably get away with using a former name not already licensed to someone else, like Crossed Swords brand,or hell make up your own.
The point is you can finally run a company the right way and you already have an experienced workforce waiting to do the job. I don't know about work space, but how much would you need if you set up a large contract with a modern parts supplier to cut out your parts on a flowjet, then you send out the blades to be heat treated after you've shaped them, and when they come back start assembly and finish.
We're all here because we all want Camillus to survive, or because we admire the knives that Camillus has made since 1902 right here in the United States, but Camillus started out as Sherwood Cutlery Company in 1894. Isn't it more important that Camillus survive in the people who have made their knives for so many years, even if the name changes?
What a legacy you can save for your children. The company that once was Camillus is still theirs to work for, and as part owner they can receive an even larger part of the profits. Of course I'd be willing to buy stock in your company if you'd like some financing. Maybe others here would like to invest as well. :foot:
Let's hear from you, and soon we can start another section in this forum for your company. And of course we'll expect to hear of every move you plan to make for competing against your competition. We'll let you know what we want and you can stop everything to give it to us. :jerkit:
After all, who knows better then the customer and the fans what the company should do?
I look forward to years of new designs.
P.S. Grumpy 1, You might want to e-mail Camillus and get your knife back, then send it to the Knife Doctor. Ask Tom Williams here if he can point you to the right person to contact at Camillus.
