Thanks Jerryd! It does have plenty of blade left,But looks like it's been neglected. The bone is pretty sweet though!

This one was broken down, but thanks to a donor blade and shield she is up and running again. (Thanks JERRY)

Posted this else where but since it is a 72 I'll post it here too. Got it off ebay at a bottom feeder price. Couldn't resist.

Darn it! That's what happens when I stay away from EBay for a couple of weeks - you guys get all the good deals!

I actually ran across it with 3 minutes left and it was low so I through out a price and won. Most of the time it doesn't work like that for me. Thanks.

Good score doglegg.

Colonel26 · Post by **Colonel26** » Thu Jun 14, 2018 2:31 am

Good looking 72! Those make great toters.

DM11 · Post by **DM11** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 3:11 pm

Jerry got a couple more. Nothing special. Just different tang stamps. Long line and the last tang stamp cant remember what it is called.

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 3:34 pm

Couple of good ones there David. I'm especially fond of the saber grind on the older one. I've just called the newer tang stamp "the double line" stamp. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it anything else. Nice pickups.

DM11 · Post by **DM11** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 3:50 pm

I hadnt even noticed the different grinds on the the master blades.

Thank you for the info Jerry!

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 4:52 pm

David, did you notice there are no handle pins in either one of you knives? Camillus stopped pinning on the handles (at least on the 72's) and started using the post method for attaching the handles in about 1976. (look inside the blade well)

DM11 · Post by **DM11** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 5:25 pm

Yes, I did notice that but hadnt paid any attention to it. Thanks for the pics. They show it real good.

I've read through this thread more than once. There is so much info it is hard to process and retain it all. My memory isnt as good as it once was. I'm glad you brought these differences to my attention. I find all these little manufacturing changes over the year very interesting. Also gives me a good excuse to hunt down more of them. Like I really need an excuse.

Just got this here Scout.
It needs some clean-up and oil. I might have to slip off to my shop after work.
