cs trailmaster carbon v discontinued?

[goldie]

saw someone selling one in the exchange saying it was no longer being made ? is this true ?

Good question.

It is pretty well understood that Camillus made them; so with Cami down, there may well be a temporary stop in supply.

As "Carbon V" is one of CS's more desireable products, I bet it will be temporary.

seems like lots of dealers are listing it as delayed until december or january.maybe another maker is doing them?

The was a link to an article from a local New York newspaper about Cold Steel pulling out their machines and equipment from the Camillus factory recently in the Camillus forum. I have no idea at this time who would be taking over the production of Cold Steel's Carbon V.

i talked to a distributor who is expecting a shipment in december.they said if it was discontinued they would have dropped it from their waiting list.maybe cs got another maker in the u.s. to start making them again?
