I've already gotten a larger carrier for the 72s. It holds (ta da) 72 knives, three folders of 24 each.
I don't think so but what do I know. The details are starting to wear me down Grant. The only thing I'm sure of is this OK USA model was made by Schrade or (more likely) Ulster.Shearer wrote:Jerry your Olsen knife has 25 on the tang stamp.Mine has 107.

Re: camillus #72
I think you nailed it Grant. Looks like Pakistan to me too. Check out the bolsters (threaded
), they are not straight across where they meet the handles. Notice, no rocker pin and for me that equals glued on handles.
This is the auction description. It's just full of bull roar.
"This is an Old Fashioned Jigged Black Delrin® 3 Blade Whittler Pocket Knife!
I found this one at an Estate Sale. The executor there told me that:
"This Knife is a Delrin® Jigged Handle 3 Blade Whittler Pocket Knife. The Blades do not have the common shiny mirror type surface because they have been Customized with a Brushed Satin Finish."
The Knife is a little brighter than in the photos, as the pictures were taken indoors.
The size is close to: ( 6 & 7/16 " Open ) and ( 3 " Closed ).
The Main Blade is about: ( 2 & 1/16 " Long ).
The Whittler Blade measures: ( 1 & 3/8 " Long ).
The Coping Blade is close to ( 1 & 5/16 " Long ).
The Inner Liners are made of Solid Brass and the Blades are made of 440 Steel.
MADE IN THE USA!
All 3 Blades have a shallow easy open notch. Pure Nickel Silver Threaded Bolsters! The Handle on this knife is made of Delrin®. The knife stand in the photos is not included. A Nice Black Delrin® Knife! If you look close you can see some small cracks & scratches due to storage and age. This is a Hand Made White Tail Cutlery Knife! This knife on the inside looks like it was stored in a dusty garage or storage shed, but at the same time it appears to be only very lightly used, almost like new."

Re: camillus #72
I made him a reasonable offer on a Camillus once upon a time, and he came back with an equally ridiculous counter offer. I look at his knives, but that's about it.
