The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Jumping back into knife collecting. Its been a couple of years since I last posted any 72's and their clones. I sold most of mine off. I had a bunch of short lined ones in bone that were just awesome. I can't believe how much the value of these knives has gone up! I recently picked up a few to start rebuilding my collection.

In this bunch, front to back, are a yellow jacket, a Rigid, a 22 rim fire and a couple of Remingtons.

In this bunch, front to back are three long line 72's. an Ulster that Jerry D. gave me several years ago and a Kutmaster.

And in this bunch, front to back, a short line 72 in Ebony that I recently rebuilt, a 1042 scout that I put some deer antler tine on. It was one of the first knives that I rehandled many years ago. A long line 72, an Imperial scout 72 clone and a Craftsman Keen Kutter.
I have two more short liner 72s on the bench all cut apart waiting for me to give them a new set of jigged bone covers. I'll post them when they are finished. Boy I forgot how addictive these are. Wished I had those bone handled short line 72's back!
Really great way to jump back in. Look forward to seeing more from you. Great work ,great pics . Always good too see some of you guys come back around. Take care

A rare knife that I think all members of this forum have .
I purchased it about three years ago but only recently photographed it .
That’s a great piece,glad you got a photo and posted it .
Awhile back I posted one of the same and asked some questions. You and / or Jerryd responded that it was a Holiday SFO but I can’t remember where that info was posted . Do you remember off hand ? Thanks . Here’s a pic of the one I have stashed away.

That's definitely the way you jump back in!! Very nice group of 72's and clones. Awesome you found a Keen Kutter. Look forward to see how the two your working on turn out!!

I though I was sold on the CAMILLUS 72... now I am leaning toward the # 67 ... am I guilty of a sort of "infidelity"? Is there a road back to redemption?

Judge Jerry is a hard a$$ Marine so you might be doing pushups in the mud for a while. Be sure to count them out so he can hear you!

A 67? Why that's just an everyday stockman. I say, I say, that's just heresy son. Gotta find some way to get your mind right. Get down and give me 50 and count 'em out loud.

Are any of us. I couldn't pump out one. I'd fall flat on my nose.
When I was around 33 or 34 years old I had to do a PT test and I did over 100 push ups in 1 minute. Now I can hardly push my self up out of my "lazy-Boy" chair... and THAT is with the incentive of getting up and getting an ice cold beer out of the fridge

You boys must have snatched up all the remaining good 72’s. On the rare occasion I have a minute to look for them on the bay, most of what I see are worn out, broken down nags.
I need to get my priorities right and spend more time on line looking at knives!

I am trying for redemption today for the error of my ways by EDC-ing my Short-Line #72 ...The real question is is it too little too late?

Colonel, I'll tell you what... I have had a tough time bidding on the Flea Bay... I make a bid and next thing you know... Bam! I see a notice "Outbid" and you are 100% right there is a lot of worn out, broken down nags there. Worse, is that I came down with a bad case of "Short-Line Fever" awhile back and the only cure seems to be finding more Short-Lines which seem to be few and far between
