The knives are made of Corrosion Resistant Steel (Stainless Steel). Camillus made these knives from 1957-2006. Other companies made them at various times as well. The knife was, and still is, a General Issue knife to all military services and is in a number of different kits as well as being issued by itself. It was also sold commercially to whoever wanted one, to service personnel through the PX system as well as to the general public.This style of pocket knife style also goes back to WW2 in late 1944. Imperial and Ulster combined efforts and made them under the name Kingston. The first one was a USMC contract, and soon after, an Army version which is mostly unmarked except with the name Kingston on the clevis. The Stevenson company was also a maker during WW2. In 1948, a version came out which has the mark “Ulster-48”. From 1948 to 1957 there were no makers of this Knife except the hard-to-find “Camillus 1949”.
