Re: camillus #72
Very nice Tony. I see you go for quality, not quantity. There is enough slight variations in the 72 line to keep you busy and your pocketbook emptied for quite some time to come. And that doesn't include the clones.

I finally got it in gear and took a group shot of my custom 72s. There's too much sun today but this will have to do.

Re: camillus #72
Here's the last customized 72 I own. It'll stay, the other I gave to dad. Glennbad did this one for me. Excuse the smudge on the shield. I didn't notice until I cropped the image that I hadn't gotten all the wax off when I waxed it last.

Re: camillus #72
A Lazy Saturday at home so quite naturally I gravitate to my knife room.I'm doing some cleaning and rearranging and I notice it''s taking along time on my 72 section. I look around and I am surrounded by 72's. Someone recently suggested that it could be time for some intervention regarding my appetite for Northwoods,they may be right. I now have 50 72 clones and to top it off I have two more on my ebay watch list.

That's quite a pile you've accumulated Greg. Here's a couple you might want to keep an eye out for.

Re: camillus #72
Tommy that one is marked High Carbon steel USA so I'm guessing it was made for Sears. It' got milled liners and is in the configuration of a first gen 72. At times I think there is a remnant of a Sta-Sharp etch on the blade but I can't be sure.
