Close up of the Olsen OK 107 for those who have not seen one. Same size and pattern as the Camillus 72. I am not sure as to the time frame of these.

Nice ones Old Cutler and Jerry!

Given the plain pull and lack of (visible) bolster pins, (plus the color and jigging of the handles) I feel fairly comfortable saying that iteration of the Olsen OK was made by Schrade.

...something about the coping blade doesn't look right??...is it a little wider or is it my old eyes????...........

Here's my Olsen Ok. Looks like a Schrade as well.

Here's a Craftsman that looks very similar. Looks like Schrade made also.

This Hammer Brand appears to be Schrade also.

Nothing wrong with your old eyes, the Olsen coping blade is wider than the Camillus.

A 72 I used to own but sold it on eBay a few years ago. After reading this thread it is a Generation One. Always regretted selling it.

Other than a couple of rubs on the blades it was mint.

Amazing knife Hal! There are not very many out there in that condition.

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 11:43 pm

WOW!!!!

And where did you acquire it in the first place? That's a grail knife.

thawk · Post by **thawk** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 11:52 pm

I found it on eBay and owned it for a few years.

The sought after and finally found Camillus Rimfire Classic LR 6 came today. Not a fancy knife but one that caught my eye as it blends two things I really enjoy. And it is a 72.

Excellent knife Doglegg!

gsmith7158 · Post by **gsmith7158** » Sun Apr 22, 2018 10:55 pm

As promised here are some pics of my newest additions to my Camillus 72 family.

And finally for your viewing pleasure , The New 72 First Gen Chorus line . Just look at those gals kick!

Thanks Greg, that is quiet a line up you have. Some of them look brand new. An all look good. Is the chorus line dancing to 'Mac the knife'?

gsmith7158 · Post by **gsmith7158** » Mon Apr 23, 2018 12:19 am

Thanks Doglegg! Mac the The Knife is a very good possibility.

Greg it won't be long and you will be counting them by weight.

Nice lot of 72's and you must have cornered the market on first generations.
I don't have the Sacramento River in my collection.

Well Grant I told myself I would quit at ten so there they are. Still don't have a dead mint one though so that may not hold.

That Sacremento River was one of a series made for the outdoor store Orvis.
