https://www.ebay.com/itm/Camillus-72-Wh ... SwIGJaQHCF Hey Jerryd, is this one of those 'frankencamillus' from the end of their run? A little high I think.

Re: Frankencamillus?
Yes, it is.
It's about 6X too high and the description is way out in left field. It is a Camillus 72 Whittlers Knife but it's not from the 1990's, it's from the mid 2000s. It's not a Leather Craftsman Tool and it's not really all that Rare. But what do you expect? Ditwtexas is the seller.

There was talk of this seller in the past. I think , if I can remember, someone looked into his non_profit group. I don't think anyone thought highly of knives or authenticity. From what I have heard, I wouldn't buy anything from him.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I see this sellers highly discounted auctions. Everything is 20% off of ridiculous.
As the old saying goes, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS.

Re: Frankencamillus?
Grant, I've never seen an LR6 built like that.
These are my two. This one has a Stanley SL6 main blade with Stanley ground off and Camillus etched on. And I have a couple that were never finished.
