Re: camillus #72
At the risk of appearing somewhat hoggish I just picked up my sixth Camillus first gen 72. I promise I'll stop at ten.

Re: camillus #72
Hey Keith, a lot of times you can get those beaters for nearly nothing. If you can match up the right two you come out with an all original desirable knife.espn77 wrote:If you can do that it really changes what knives I go after. Great job Randy, and Greg

Re: camillus #72
Well 'Z' is a Brit and a friend. He's a little sideways to start with and he knows it so there's no real fixing him. But just for you, here ya go.
And put that stick down and quit poking me with it. You're going to put somebodies eye out.
