Tactical Edge Solutions recently acquired some fine blade blanks from the Camillus factory in New York due to its closure last year. These blade blanks are not normally available to the public, as they were intended to be finished in the factory.
However, now that Camillus has closed, discerning craftsmen have the unusual opportunity to obtain first-rate, American-made blade blanks and customize them into unique, collectible knives of the highest calibre.
Needless to say, these blanks will be available only for a short time, since there are no more being made. We are selling stock that happened to be in the factory when the doors were closed; when they're gone, they're gone for good.
This item is a Camillus (manufactured for Cold Steel) kukri knife blade blank which is ground to profile but unsharpened. It is approx. 17" overall with a blade length of approx. 12". Just over .125" across the spine. Full tang. We are using one set of photos for multiple auctions. However, this description will be fair and accurate for all auctions. Your blade will most likely have the tang stamp ground off, and possibly some other small areas with inconsistent grinding. None of this grinding has compromised the integrity of the blade, and with additional surface grinding the whole thing will be good as new. Most of these blanks show a partial or complete stamp of the Cold Steel kukri logo somewhere on the blade, as seen in the photo above. Camillus was forging these for the very expensive Cold Steel kukri product line.
Your blade may have slightly more or less surface impurity than shown in the photos, but you will be happy or you will get your money back.

FAQ's:
Q. Has this blade been heat treated, tempered, or hardened?
A. The answer is Maybe. All these Camillus blades were taken from the
factory in various stages of manufacturing, so it is not possible to
know what has been done unless there is visible evidence. The farther
along a blade has gone in the process, the more likely it has been heat
treated, tempered, or hardened.
Q. Some eBay sellers have sold blades
from Pakistan and claimed they were Camillus. Can you guarantee that
these are legitimate?
A. Absolutely. Many of them bear a Camillus tang stamp, and we know for
certain that the ones without tang stamps are Camillus because we work
with reputable suppliers. We unconditionally guarantee that if we say
it came from Camillus, it did.
Q. How long will you have this or that blank available?
A. We can't say for sure on any given blank, but in general they are
disappearing very quickly.
Q. Is combined shipping available on this item?
A. Yes! We charge full shipping for the highest-shipping-cost item, and $3.00 for each
additional item. Please note that not all items are eligible for
combined shipping (always read the auction description!) and we cannot
combine shipping on international orders. To get your combined
shipping savings, send a request to us for a combined invoice after
your winning auctions are done.
Thank
you for viewing this auction. We will answer all questions cheerfully
and promptly. And thanks for considering Tactical Edge Solutions!
