Tommy (Carrmillus) is at it again. He said he was sending me something but he fibbed, he was sending two somethings. Two Camillus 72s. One is a fairly well loved late '40s short line with rough black handles.
B U T -- T H E -- O T H E R -- O N E.
Santa Fe Stoneworks with handles made of several types and shades of wood on the mark side and what I believe is Walnut on the pile side. It's a dirty shame my photographic skills SUCK 'cause this one is a real beauty.
Tommy I really appreciate this and I have no idea how I will ever pay you back. This bad boy is gorgeous. I'm just stunned.
1940s variation:
Santa Fe Stoneworks -- Trust me folks, my pictures are a pure disgrace to this knife.
Forged on the anvil of discipline.
The Few. The Proud.

This country has become more about sub-groups than about it's unity as a nation.
