This morning these two knives found their way into my CAMILLUS 72 variation collection. Both are Keen Kutter K30, 3 blade, "whittler" pocket knives. I didn't clean either one. I took some pictures and here they are.

Fished this little Schrade 863 out of the bay. Someone had installed different handles and unfortunately overly buffed the blades. But I thought over all it looked knice and the seller lowered the price to reasonable so it is now with friends. Thanks for looking. ::handshake::

I just acquired this CAMILLUS 72 variation. It's a McGrew ARKANSAS, 3 blade, yellow handles, HillBilly Classic, "whittler" pocket knife. My fourth McGrew, my first with yellow handles. It comes with the box. I am pleased with this purchase.

Another nice one doglegg!! As I told Skip, I had never heard of that namebrand. Now something else for me to keep an eye out for. ::facepalm::

A little earlier today, I purchased these three knives. These three CAMILLUS 72 variations. I bought it also, but "ignore" the Remington "Bird Knife." First it's, as far as I can tell, an "unbranded", 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. I'll have to investigate the shield. Next up, it's an ULSTER 63, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. Again, missing the shield. What is it with ULSTER 63's and missing shields? Last is a POWR-KRAFT, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. I can't tell from the pictures, but I hope it's stamped 84-11. They all look to be in good condition. When they arrive, each will receive a thorough inspection. I will take pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s). Not my pictures.
