I received a knife from a recent eBay auction. It came in a box that has a UPC code sticker saying " BMSM2B". The knife has a small caper blade like a neck knife that fits in to the handle. It has "Camillus Knives" etched on the blade and "Taiwan" on the blade near the handle. It is not marked with a Buckmasters logo like other ones I have seen.
I am not in the least disappointed with it. It appears to be very well made and both blades are very sharp and the grinds are nearly perfect. The sheath is also very well made of heavy nylon. I think I got it for a fair price, too.

That is a "Parasite" knife designed by Rob Simonich.
Camillus never recieved the shipment, I believe they were stuck in customs waiting for the import duties when the Company colapsed.
Nice buy!
 
Thanks for the information, Phil. I was surprised to see the "Taiwan" marking at first, but the knife won me over upon closer inspection. It has been my experience that products made in Taiwan ( bicycles, machine tools and knives) can be of excellent quality.
