Re: camillus #72
Mail carrier had this for me today. The plain black bone 72 from the 90s. For those who don't know, they made one in black bone that had ducks on the water scene deep etched on the main blade. Another was made for SMKW that had "Ole Smoky" etched on the main blade. The hardest one to find is just a plain #72 with black bone handles. This is my second one but I couldn't pass it up for the price. It's in factory condition.

Re: camillus #72
Yes, I think that was some kind of special edition that SMKW ran in the nineties because as Jerryd said 3 different 72's had it and I found a 709 with that jigged black bone the other day.carrmillus wrote:......if you look at it with one of jerryd's 65x magnifiers, you can tell it's bone!!.......... ......................

I don't know what you're talking about. The #14 is a 3-3/8" serpentine Jack with clip & pen.carrmillus wrote:....jerry, just looked thru mine again, thought I had one of these-may have gifted it to someone!!...how about a black handled #14, 2 blade(clip master and small clip)(no coping blade) 3 5/8" swell center, oval shield, short-line marking??..not sure if it's bone or composition, it's hard to tell??

Re: camillus #72
Picked up a McGrew marked 72 that was commissioned by National Wood Carvers Association. The blade is etched 'Chip Chats (their news letter) 1953-1993, 40th Anniversary. Got it from our own Tom Cosgrove. I like 72's, I like McGrew's and I like whittling so it was a win, win, win. Thanks Tom.

Doglegg, you're liable to set Jerryd on fire with that. I don't think I've ever seen that one.
