Thanks Grant, they are indeed kneat little knives. Almost too many clones to have one of each.

Floyd, are you actively pursuing a collection of all 72's and all the clones? I might be of some assistance on what to look for.

I'm not really pursuing them Jerry. But when I happen upon them and have the money they seem to find me. The first and second model kind of ruined me with the bone. But I would not be offended if you have a list. I know I've seen Western and Rigid ones. Thanks.

Thanks Jerry, I have only 6 off that list. I have 6 or 7 more of various renditions of Camillus. A bone first generation, a bone and black composite 2nd generation , a long line (I carry), a 1047, a bone 100 anniversary knife with the ducks on it and just passed along another long line. Oh and a last days one with blades in different configuration. I know that doesn't come close to your collection but these just kinda showed up over the last year. Thanks for the list.

bone 100 anniversary knife with the ducks on it

We have already found out that this knife has nothing to do with the 100th anniversary.

[jerryd6818]

Since it was in the Sears 1991 Christmas catalog and sold by Sears Roebuck it may have been made to mark the 100th anniversary of Sears.

"Sears, Roebuck and Company, colloquially known as Sears, is a chain of department stores founded by Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck in 1893."

Edited to remove inaccurate information.

[jerryd6818]

I know that doesn't come close to your collection

Floyd, your collection is your collection and you have a right to be proud of what you have in it. It's not a contest.

Thanks Vit and Jerry for the clarification. Also thanks David. I appreciate you fellows.

I had been looking for a Schrade 863 and found this very pocket worn one. The seller was asking a ridiculous price and I made an offer about 1/3 of what he was asking but I thought fair and he accepted. Blade show less wear than the covers.

[jerryd6818]

Floyd, that's a honey. You got lucky.

[doglegg]

Thanks Jerry.
