Nope. Still looking for a Cussin and Fearn Hardware and a Hibbard Spencer True Value, plus Lord only knows how many others I've never heard of. That Trustworthy Hardware is one I've only seen the one I have so there must be others.

Tommy if it wasn't for you, there are several others I would be looking for and be much poorer for the ones I found. Thank you my friend for your gracious generosity.

Man I did not realize that there were so many variations on the 72

Going to have to keep looking for them

Jerry that unfinished Harly D is gnarly, and funky little clip blade is something else!So many many knives, so little time and money......

Randy, that's just the tip of the ice berg.

At least you have one. I missed one on eBay one night several years ago. Was jacking my jaws on the phone with Linnea and it slipped my mind it was going out soon. Haven't seen another since.

Well I had a couple of 72s that needed scales. One is a regular and the other one well it is a Boy Scout knife. I finished the Scout knife tonight and I could not wait to put it on. I should finish the other one tomorrow and I will post it also. The scout shield was a booger to inlay. I am happy with it let me know what you guys think.

It came out nice, real nice.

I have it's twin. My mom bought it at the BoyScout store almost 40 years ago. It was my second knife ever, and my favorite for a long time. Mine has patina and lots of honest wear, but is still a great whittling knife.

Ed, that is splendid. Absolutely splendid. That's not just a good job, that's a great job.

Thanks Jerry, I was really hoping that you would like it. I can’t wait to get the other one done so you can see it.

Ed that is a sweet looking knife! Great job on that one!

Landersknives · Post by **Landersknives** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 11:13 am

Thanks eveled. Did yours look like this one below? I will be posting the other rehandle 72 later today I hope. I have a few 72s but only a couple needed scales as the plastic ones had shrunk and cracked. Thanks Greg I appreciate the encouragement.

#goldpan · Post by **#goldpan** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 5:28 pm

Thats a mighty fine looking 72 you did Ed! I cant wait to see the other!

Landersknives · Post by **Landersknives** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 8:26 pm

Thanks Randy. I had some stuff come up and it maybe tomorrow before I can get the other one done.

You did a top job on the knife.It's hard to fit that shield.The ones with the round scout shield makes life easier.

Ed, you make a compelling argument to get some of those shrinky-dink #72s rehandled in ACSB.

Outstanding work and thank you for sharing those unique creations with us!

Landersknives · Post by **Landersknives** » Sat Dec 09, 2017 6:30 am

Thank you Grant and Tony. I really appreciate your opinions and thanks for the encouragement. Yeah the shield was a little difficult for sure. I really enjoy working on pocket knives and I strive to get better and you guys your comments and feedback help me.

Landersknives · Post by **Landersknives** » Sun Dec 10, 2017 5:11 am

Well the other 72 is done. It fought me hard all the way. I hope everyone likes it. I went with stag. Check it out

comments/constructive criticism welcome! The main blade had no snap so I had to weld the tang but it has plenty now.

I know nothing of knife repair but the work you have been showing sure looks top notch to me.

Nice work Ed!

I'm jealous buddy! You do very fine work indeed!

Thanks guys very much. The shield on the regular 72 was a push in type. It had a sharp point at the top and bottom and you would push or press it into the scale. Well I could have inlaid it like I did the Boy Scout knife but it would have took some of the stag out so I made a design decision and left it off. Thanks again for all the comments I do really appreciate them.

....on a stag handle that looks like that, you don't need an emblem!!!!.....
