CUDA EDC for Milwaukee Electric Corp?

[KeithAM]

I picked up a couple of knives today that have frames that appear identical to the Camilus CUDA EDC (420hc). I even was able to hold it side by side for comparison.

The blade has no mark aside from an etched "Milwaukee Electric Corp. 80 years.'

I've tried searching the forums to no avail, but I remember a thread on these a few years back. My fuzzy memory was that what I have is not a Camillus product?? Or it is Camillus and has a lower grade steel for the blade?? I really just don't remember.

If it's a copy, its a pretty good one. The only thing that appears different is the blade finish (polished) and a slightly different profile. The handles are an exact match.

Any help with ID would be appeciated.

Those were made by Camillus. Same quality as the rest. Lucky for you they were made when quality counted there.

I knew you'd come through for me. I've got one in my pocket right now. The quality is definitely there.
