I did a good scan, but uploading to the host site, left a lot to be desired.
But, with a little effort, you can still read the words.
I found this really interesting.
By the way, that's, How "it" was done.

As difficult as the end was, I wish I could have worked there. These people can be proud of an honorable profession. Thanks for sharing.
 
Can you tell us what date is on that brochure? I can make a guess based on the over 100 years of service statement in the brochure, but I'm still curious when the pictures were taken.

Like many people today, many of my friends wouldn't know a quality knife when they look at or even use it. I'm going to send this brochure to them and maybe that will help. A little late now that Camillus is no more, but better late than never. Thanks for the great post!
 
Closely inspect the knives that are shown in the manufacturing photos. Some of them are 300 series Buck knives. The photographer came to the Camillus factory and randomly took photos of knives being made and these ended up in the catalog. The photos were retouched to disguise the slant bolsters.

The catalog shown was called a mini catalog and when I worked in the sales department I mailed out thousands of them. Camillus would place ads in various magazines offering the catalog for a $1.00.
