Camillus/Craftsman 72
Appears to be a Camillus 72 made for Craftsman - tang stamped MADE IN USA. Master blade is saber ground, regular pull, snaps open - very little snap on close, no side to side play when open. The pen blade has no snap (the tang has been worn by the back spring) and the blade appears to have taken an electrical jolt - note missing metal at center of blade. The pen blade has no wobble. Due to the pen blade tang being worn down, the blade sits up in the closed position. The coping blade snaps both ways and has no wobble. Hairline crack on front scale near bottom bolster, back scale is good. $12 plus $5 shipping - USA only - USPS 1st class mail with tracking.

Could that be a Utica?

Re: Camillus/Craftsman 72
Don't know about those handles but it looks very similar to this 4 line sword brand Camillus that I have. It doesn't have the matchstrike longpull like a 72 but everything else is the same. Maybe a 72 predecessor.tongueriver wrote:Could that be a Utica?

Re: Camillus/Craftsman 72
I agree with o.p., marked "Made in U.S.A." indicates it likely is a Sears Craftsman brand made by Camillus. Probably had a Craftsman or Sta-Sharp blade etch.

Re: Camillus/Craftsman 72
Nope. About 98% sure it was made for Sears by Camillus. Judging by the shield, when new, it MAY have had a "Sta-Sharp" etch on the blade.tongueriver wrote:Could that be a Utica?
