Camillus #72 Hot Mess
God knows I'm not against modifying a knife, even a Camillus #72, BUT at least do a decent job of it.

Re: Camillus #72 Hot Mess
A good example of what not to do! Jerry, that could be a “special” piece in your collection - hopefully one of a kind! OH

Re: Camillus #72 Hot Mess
No, that's alright Colonel, you go ahead and get it. I'll just muddle on without it but thanks for your thoughtfulness.
Edit: You're right. It's the poster child, not so much for "what not" to do but "how not" to do it. Actually, if it were done well, I'd be interested.

Wow! Two broken blades and two tipped blades - no wonder this person wanted so many blades if that is the way he treated a knife.

Re: Camillus #72 Hot Mess
Now I know what to do with all those broken blades. Vintage has become such a meaningless word.

I'm going to call it the "Swiss Army #72" Carpenter's and Whittlers knife.

Re: Camillus #72 Hot Mess
I wonder if the tips of the blades were broke off to make it TSA compliant?

Maybe they have a job that involves removing a lot of screws. I like the prominent brass pins through the bolsters
