This is what I have been hearing for years! Now that I have one in hand I am starting to understand the hype. Will drop it in my pocket and put it to work.

Congratulations, Mike! I still looks for 72s on occasion.

Re: camillus #72
Mike, from what I’ve seen, you and I have similar tastes in knives. We’re both fans it seems of CASE 6375s, etc…313 Mike wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 3:17 pmThis is what I have been hearing for years!

Just looking at a CASE 6375 and a Camillus 72, you’d think the two are so far apart that they wouldn’t appeal to the same person. But….
There’s just something about the 72, I can’t explain it, but the size, frame shape, blade layout, etc… it just works. A CASE 6375 and a Camillus 72 are probably my two most carried knives.

Re: camillus #72
Yep, Wade, I definitely love my Case 75 ...which is quite different from the Camillus 72. I carried it today at work, and gotta say I really like the small clip blade on the end. Don't think I have another knife with a blade like that. Pretty useful. Did not really find a use for the little coping blade yet, bit I am sure it will come in handy at some point.Colonel26 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 9:11 pmMike, from what I’ve seen, you and I have similar tastes in knives.

Re: camillus #72
I love the small Clío for most things. Especially delicate cuts. Of course the coping blade really shines when making god flat or square cuts in wood. Like I said, I prefer the Camillus 72 in the wood shop better than about any other pocket knife.313 Mike wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 2:39 amYep, Wade, I definitely love my Case 75 ...which is quite different from the Camillus 72.

Re: camillus #72
Ol Cuz there started me on my addiction. There's not much about the specs of the 72 that would match any of my likes. but the moment I got one, it was love at first sight.Theo wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 7:03 pmThanks Jerry, I really have loved the 72, I just keep getting sidetracked on a my collection, I just like knives...loljerryd6818 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 12:31 pmThey're like popcorn.
