Just got to love those shag-a-delic graphics!
Go Spark!
Good luck guys!
Maybe after this months raffle is over we should have a contest on a new thread with the prize being a CUDA of your choice.
Any ideas?

Titan,
Good thinking!!!
It's a done deal.
A CUDA of choice to the forumite who comes up with the best reason why they should get the free CUDA! They also need to state which model CUDA they would want if they win.
I will also arrange for some free Camillus T-shirts to hand out to some of the more memorable runners up!
I will start the thread this week & we will run contest to end of July.
Thanks for your help with this.

Man, I'd win this hands down, if I considered myself eligable. I deserve a 24K gold CUDA with Platinum liners and White Gold scales because I'm just so darn cool and generous by lending my awesome talents to create this site for you guys to chat on.
But, since I'm ineligable (and way to humble to make that sort of proclamation) I'll just keep my yap shut and get on with my shagadelic groove baby! It really freaks me out.....

Hello, i think i sould get a CUDA-Tanto version plain edge because i'm a big fan of Camillus fan, and love the design of the CUDA, the see thru handle is awesome, and the opening device is very slick, I WANT MY CUDA, MOST OF ALL IS BECAUSE IT RESEMBLE'S THE BM 975S CQC7.

Could we please have a list of the available models (points, serration options, coatings etc.) posted in here? At least I don't have Blade or Tactical Knives in the local bookstores

Two important questions in life:
Do they have a catalog?
Did you know there's a town called "Batman" in Turkey?

Jani -- as Camillus doesn't have a website yet (when, Phil?), I did a search. www.knifecenter.com has some pics with description, unfortunately the site is temporarily down.

Spark,
No argument there! And your forum shags like a minx!
Jani,
Catalog is on its way.

If you don't know what Cuda models are available, then you obviously don't deserve to get one...heheheh J/K.
The reasons I think that I should get a Cuda are:
- The blade / handle length are perfect for my tastes in every way.
- I love the clip point mini-cuda, plain edge model. I have sold many of these to very picky customers and I have been drooling over this model since day one.
- Since Camillus made a knife good enough to live in my grandpa's pocket for all those years, I believe that everyone should have at least one in their pocket too.
- I just plain love the Cuda's design. I never could get the action down, but after much practice with a buddies, I finally graduated "Cuda Flicking" with flying colors.
- Since grandpa carried one, shouldn't I carry on the tradition???
- And best of all, THEY ARE MADE IN THE U.S.A.!!!!!! -AR

I mean, yeah, I could buy one myself, but it wouldn't be special because it didn't come from Camillus personally. Besides, the Cuda that Camillus will give away will be autographed by Phil, won't it??? hehehe -AR

In my case, it's why I should NOT get a free CUDA.
Why? Simple. There's a lot more people here in BFC that's more deserving than I am.
I'm a knife nut, and of course, freebies are welcome... though I believe there are a lot of people who would want to start a knife collection like some of us here, but don't have the resources to do so, and had to settle for "second best". For me, they deserve to get the free CUDA. Wouldn't it be great to start the knife collection on the right foot?
And, it would make them really happy with the blessing, which makes it all worthwhile.
My 2-cents.
Dan

With apologies to E.A.Poe, here's my attempt:
Once upon a midnight dreary, while she pondered eyes all bleary,
Over knives that I had considered scarcely not an hour before.
Sorting through the catalog's mapping, ever conscious of a rapping,
Of her shod foot firmly tapping, tapping on the kitchen floor.
"Not THIS one," she pointed, foot tapping on the kitchen floor.
"Not this one and not one more!"
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in that great December,
When each happy fam'ly member brought their gifts inside our door.
Eagerly, I tore them open - curious and ever hoping
For the C.U.D.A., no more to covet - covet as I had before!
For the smooth-actioned C.U.D.A. that I had never had before!
A C.U.D.A. to cut or scrape or bore.
And the power of that feeling, sure to send my mind a-reeling,
Thrilled me - filled me with visions chilling to my very core.
So that now to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"Now surely I can have that knife that I did not but before.
The Camillus C.U.D.A. that I did not buy before.
But have always wanted, from days of yore."
Now at last the urge was stronger, growing large from waiting longer,
"Dear," said I, "uh, Sweetheart, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was crazy, you know that I'm much too lazy
And my memory is hazy, hazy like those times before,
"Certainly I had not committed to forego this knife before,
Certainly, of this I swore."
Deep into her dark eyes peering, long I sat there wondering, fearing,
Headed for a place where no man returns without a chore.
But her glare remained unbroken, and there she stood, solid, oaken,
I heard the words before she'd spoken, "Not this one and nothing more."
Part of this I repeated, and murmured back the words "Nothing more?"
Yes, this I'd heard in times before.
Feverishly, my mind churning (proper responses I'm still learning)
If I add to my collection, she would show me the door.
For my knives sat in corners dusty, some ATS, still others rusty,
Soon I'd stammer or I'd sweat, sweat out of every pore.
She'd see my scheme from the sweat coming out of every pore.
If this occurs, I get none more.
"Hon...," I started, ever hoping, for careful words, I'd been groping
As if searching for a diamond in a thousand tons of ore.
I felt as if I had been stranded, or as common crook been branded,
By feable, myriad excuses, excuses ever thinner wore.
Hopelessly, I thought excuses that ever thinner wore.
Only these, and thought none more.
There she stood, eyes beguiled, sparkling, and then she smiled.
A look reserved for special times, for at my soul it tore.
Cautious treading here demanded, as I felt soon to be remanded -
I feared I knew her likely plan to be constraining her amour.
There was no torture more direct than constraining her amour.
Horrific torture, none worse more.
Cursed greed of knife collection! Must it deprive me of affection?
These demons raced about my head like ghosts from days of yore.
The Camillus C.U.D.A. is a beauty, surely fit for any duty,
And like a pirate's love of booty, my yearning I could not ignore.
Own this locking liner G-10 treasure which I could not ignore.
But sleep on the couch a month or more.
So, Moderator, now I plead - that my affliction you will feed.
Despite the fact my wife will close and lock her lovin' door.
It would be my greatest pleasure, to possess a spear-point treasure
A prize I'd very nearly measure, like my wife (who I truly do adore.)
So please Camillus (a company who I truly do adore)
Please send the C.U.D.A. to my shore?

I think a deserve a plain edge clip point mini Cuda to augment my small, humble knife collection. Currently my utilitarian collection includes a Spydie dragonfly and a Rekat Pioneer. While these are practical and useful, they lack the gee-whiz factor. What I now need is a quality, useful knife that also incorporates a bit of a gee-whiz whiz factor. Being a meager high school student, I lack the financial means to add this very important addition to my collection.
Jani -- here's an active link to all (?) CUDA models with pics www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/camillus/cuda.html
Dannyc -- you described me to a T!
Mike -- great prose. Now how can I top that?
Folks -- I believe Phil said he'll post a seperate thread this week wherein we all can cite our reasons for owning a free CUDA.
In the meanwhile, could you kindly reserve me one of your left hand spearpoint mini-CUDA, Phil?
