Not a bone handle but did pick up this short line 72 from our own Philco. It may find a place in my pocket.

That’s a nice short line. The 72 is a dandy EDC.

D.L. .... I don't know how I missed this post ... but you got a sweet little #72 there ... I hope it has seen some EDC time since you got it.

Looks this thread has become a sub thread: "Short-Line #72s" ... I have few in my stash, but I always seem to find Short-line #1s I must have about a dozen and I have no idea why I keep finding so many of them... Just like almost all my "No-Lines" are #99s and my 6 or so #23s are almost all "Orr Felt Co." marked .... ... Might just be "a glitch in the Matrix" ....

Those 23s will change out.

Thanks GSP, it's been in my pocket ever since. It's funny how we seem to have spells of finding repeats. And Orr Felt must have been a very successful co.

Well Joe, that's the long and short of it.

Ohhhh .... I LIKE that conversion!

Well, D.L. ... I reckon' you are right about that, ... I think this guy must have owned it....

Short-Line #1 in my pocket today.....

A short line 16, great little knife. If I remember right the 17 was the same knife but with a spear blade. I think they only made the 17 one year. I ramble.

Thanks D.L. Keep on rambling! Thats fine by me, when it comes to Short-Lines . ... I think you are right about the 17 being rare, I haven't seen one ... I sure would like to have one, nice bone scales.... full sharp blade ....... .... there I go dreaming again ....

Appreciate it Floyd. I've got lines on another first gen at a local consignment shop, in negotiations on price between all involved and waiting on word back. Yep, these 72's are more additive than a Tater Chip.

That's a G@@D LKING group, Smitty.

Very nice group of short line 72 s !!
They all have the federal shield . Now if you could find one without the shield that would top your group off very nicely . They seem harder to find these days . And when you do it is a knife other than bone handles!
Really good to see you back ! The Camillus section was getting a little dusty from being inactive so long. And you polished it up with all your excellent purchases and posts.
