ADDITIONAL INFO: The Camillus Carpenter’s Whittler is a very popular and old pattern. When I first saw the Camillus #72 I thought that was a pretty weird design to be calling it a whittler because it was not the traditional whittler pattern. This has not affected its popularity because this same pattern has been made by a number of different companies and for large retailers like Sears and Wards. Schrade, Ulster and Imperial as well as a number of other companies have made this pattern. Aside from the various manufacturers and numerous brand names this classic pattern has hosted a number of different handle, including Rogers bone circa World War II, celluloid and other early plastics and then in the early 1960s it was clad in DuPont Delrin® in black, brown, light brown and even white Delrin.
This knife has the last tang stamp Camillus used in this knife is listed in their last catalog, the 2006 catalog. The Yello-Jaket series probably the most sought after recent series of Camillus knives. They bring crazy prices on eBay and the asking price is often even crazier. This is a great old stock Camillus Yello-Jaket for your collection! See Pictures!
