Camillus CQB1
- Thread starter KenHash
- Start date
Yes, the ATS-34 preceded the 154CM. But I came across this from a 2002 article. Maybe carbon steel was first?
"CQB-1 TERZUOLA DESIGN For the die-hard tactical fixed blade fans out there, Camillus has tapped the expertise of premiere custom maker Robert Terzuola to bring out the CQB-1 Special Ops fixed blade fighter. Its 5 ¾ inch, 5/32 inch thick 0170-6C carbon tool steel drop point blade has a black epoxy coating for retardation of glare and corrosion protection.. The handle is of rugged canvas micarta and the CQB-1 Special Ops is shipped with a Kydex lined, Propex® nylon sheath. This certainly is a no-nonsense fighter! This is probably the best made tactical fixed blade Camillus has manufactured to date."

Yes everyone seems to agree the period for the CQB1 would be about 2000 to 2006. It's quire remarkable how many folks have written pretty good stuff about the CCB1s history without ever specifically stating when Camillus introduced it.
