Well, I said I would post a review of my new Cammillus Cuda,so I will.

When I walked into the store (LeBaron) I immediatly headed for the knife counter. I spotted the Camillus at once, but kept browsing, they have a lot to choose from.
In the end it was a choice between the Camillus Cuda and a similar knife made by Kershaw. The women behind the counter had previously stated that
the Cuda was a lot nicer, and after inspecting both I had to agree.


The design is really nice, sleek, modern, and it provides comfortable grip while still being thin. Its quite light so it can be carried comfortably in a pocket. It also has a pocket clip. The knife features the ever so common thumb stud, for one handed deployment. The blade is quite wide (which is good, lots of surface area which is great for food prep) and just the right thickness.

I have only carrid it for a few days, but I dont have any complaints (yet?!)
It seems to hold its edge pretty well and is very comfortable and (dare I say it?) fun to use.
The handle is made of 420HC and the blade is AUS 8.

I forgot to mention is there is a hole on the base of the hilt that can be used as a lanyard hole.
Theres not much else to say, I will post a more detailed report after EDCing this knife for a few months. Till then, thanks for reading and stay sharp!

This is a very often overlooked knife. I remember when it was introduced, there was quite a buzz. It's a nice blade... Frame lock, nice blade shape with a very useful recurve, fully adjustable/disassemble-able, good size, designed by Darrel Ralph. Great price tag, too... often can be had for <$30.
If I remember correctly, it comes in AUS 8, which is not too shabby and keeps the pricepoint down.

Come to think of it, why don't I have one of these?!?

Peace.
 
Agreed - it is underestimated. I have the Cuda EDC with 154CM and during the time I used it (long time ago in my collection, but it's still there), it more than paid for itself. Thx for the reminder, I should stick it back in my pocket for another whirl:)

Well Im heading down to Lebaron on Saturday. And of course ill be picking up another knife (still not sure which one). But ill definitely take a look at the Cammillus Cuda EDC.
 
Yep, the EDC makes a dandy carry (especially when you choose/required to carry a 3-inch or less knife).
