Re: camillus #72
Thanks for the replies. It's always good to learn something new about 72s. BTW, I doubt Ditwit ever gets phased by competitors' much lower prices. Supposedly he's on a higher mission.

Re: camillus #72
So, who got this one?? Would it be considered a 72 Clone, or even a 72 at all?

Tj are you talking about this knife? I was alittle apprehensive about it because most four lines I have seen are stamped on all blades.tjmurphy wrote:So, who got this one?? Would it be considered a 72 Clone, or even a 72 at all?

Re: camillus #72
Greg, did you get that knife? I tried to bid on it and my computer froze, wouldn't type any numbers in the bid box My question on it was the small clip opposite the master and pen. I thought that they all had a coping blade and that the small clip came later. Also, he listed it as 3 3/4" and the 72 is 3 5/8". Maybe just a mis-measure? Since it is a Sword Brand I think that it would have a different model number designation other than "72".

Re: camillus #72
I didn't bid on it Tj. If it is 1941-46 I would guess it is not a 72 pattern still a nice knife. I would have bid on it had I known the info about the tang stamps.tjmurphy wrote:Greg, did you get that knife?

Re: camillus #72
Good snag Joe. Have you ever wondered why the Camillus yellow Delrin handled knives go for more but the Case yellow handles don't?

Re: camillus #72
I haven't been aware of such goings on but many things get past me anymore.
I will say that the yellow Camillus knives as I have shown likely get more attention because of the Yellow Jacket name.
That gives collectors a focus for hoarding ... I mean, ... collecting.
Case had various compositions that were yellow and some better that others. That may have made folks a little gun shy.
Yellow was my dads favorite color so I like to have a few around. Plus this is a nice knife.

Re: camillus #72
I have a mint 72 with yellow Delrin handles but no "Yellow Jacket" etch. Was this etch only used in certain years ?
