Now that's some pretty good accounting Dale. But yes, I think that the one you did for me is the one that started the snowball down the hill.

And what a great snowball it is

Grant, I don't think that Door In The Wall guy down in Texas has a single knife that isn't pumped up to 4 or 5 times the price of a normal knife. Is he just sitting around waiting for a fish to bite or does he really have that much of an inflated opinion of the value of his knives?

In all fairness, all his auctions do have the "Or Best Offer" option.

I was just browsing this thread like I always do and decided to account for all the nice #72's and their clones that I have now thanks to you guys. So here they are in their glory.

And Jerry is the designated ringleader of this addict group....lol

I will rehandle one in red smooth bone when I find away to dye the bone.
I am running out of bone looks like I will have to kill some more cattle.
I don't make a lot of money on the farm but I can eat well.Steak , lamb and sometimes pork.
I tried to eat kangaroo but It keeps jumping of the plate.

The big supermarket here discounting milk have sent most of the dairy farmer out of the industry.
I have never seen a wild camel they live in the centre of Australia.
We export camels to the Middle East .
I been to Western Australia a few times( 3600km ),Seen a lot of wild goats, wedgetail eagles ( the size of turkeys )dingo and kangaroos.
The eagles are eating road kill and are slow to fly so they break a lot of windscreens.
They have airstrips on the highway for the air-ambulance.

Kinda like frog legs

Tendots, if you're talking about the pic that I posted, yes, Dale (Orvet) rehandled it for me.

Scott -- That's a very nice start you have going on there. I was a lot farther into the addiction before I got my first bone handle and you appear to have at least two. Nice!!!

Grant -- What a great pile. Are most of them Camillus, Schrade & Ulster? What's the third one in from the right in the top row?

T.J. -- You're killin' me buddy. The only thing I can do is retaliate. I'll see your red bone rehandled Scout

and raise you a Scout rehandled in pre-ban elephant ivory by Wallace Rockwell. (How's that for some name dropping one upmanship?)

That's a killer, Jerry. But I'll call and raise you a black-lipped pearl from the bench of Glennbad and the pearl pile of Orvet

Well, I got this one with no markings on it anyplace. It came with a sheet of paper that's marked Whitetail Cutlery. It appears to have been made in the cradle of fine cutlery on the Indian sub-continent by that world famous cutler, Paki Stan and adorned with faux pearl acrylic handles. I know all this to be true because it came from a knowledgable and reliable source for desireable cutlery in Kentucky.

tjmurphy · Post by **tjmurphy** » Mon Jan 27, 2014 5:49 pm

WOW!! Just WOW!!! You got three of them from custom builders, Damon Soileau, Wallace Rockwell, and now, Paki Stan. You da man, Jerry!!!

You can tell I'm proud of that one by Paki Stan, I kept some of the paperwork. There was more but it came on a roll and I've used it all.

Jerry that knife is is straight line Remington
All the ones in the top row are clones or contract knives

Hey fellow 72aholics. Yesterday was a good day for the clone pile.

Brokered a trade with Dave (dcgm4) and got more than I bargained for. The trade was for an Olsen OK USA #25 (72 clone) he picked up a couple of years ago. When it arrived what was actually in the box were three clones. There was the agreed on Olsen #25 plus a German York with bone handles and pinned shield. The third one I have never heard of. It's a German AMPLOUGH #52 with bone handles and pinned shield and "Johnson Wires" etched on the back of the main blade. It looks like it could have come out of the same factory as the York or a German Olsen.

Thank you for your generosity Dave. I'm quite pleased with these new additions to my pile of 72s and their clones.
