I've been planning a trip to one of the Pennsylvania knife factories for a vacation, for some time. While I dream and plan, I'd like to read about our members visits to the companies that produce our dear old timey knives.
Buck, Canal Street, Great Eastern, Queen, Case, any others that produce old timey folders and fixed blades. Those gone and hopefully not forgotten, too. Camillus, Schrade and all those that went into the night. Our international pals are welcome too, as long as it stays traditional. If you have a question about whether it's traditional or not, chances are it might not be. I'd like to hear your tales, see your pics, and hopefully, watch your videos. I've always had a great time visiting knife makers shops, and I'd like to one day take a road trip to the three factories in PA. In reference to the old factories, I read in this forum about one of our members, a mod I believe, that fished on the banks near an old factory. If you have the remains and memories of an old factory, I am interested in that too. Knife World has run some great stories about old and defunct factory locations, where the iron works are visible through the weeds and trees. I know that some of our members that make knives for a living have gone to the factories. I look forward to any videos you might share also
