Camillus 72 Clones

[New_Windsor_NY]

My latest "72" variation, a Schrade 863.

That's a nice one.

[New_Windsor_NY]

That's a nice one.

Thank you.

These two Camillus 72 variations arrived today.
A Harley Davidson HD21 and a Kutmaster.

My latest Camillus 72 variation, this Schrade 863.
It has different tang stamps than the the one that
is a couple of posts above this one.

I especially like the Harley Davidson 72.

Thank you sir. I'm having a ball doing this!

I forgot that this Camillus 72 "Ole Smoky" is a Camillus 72 variation. Now I need the "ducks" and the "plain" variations.

Today's addition to the "72" variation family, another Schrade 863.
I also received this (Schrade) Craftsman 9494 tang stamp punch and
while it's obviously not a knife, it did take part in completing Camillus
72 variations.

Today I received this McGrew Arkansas "Hillbilly Classic."
Another Camillus 72 variation.

Today, I received yet another Camillus 72 variation,
this Remington R14 whittler. Now to find the variations
of this variation.

Today I received this Camillus 1047 pattern Scout Knife. I have quite a few 1047's. But this is my first 1047 pattern, that Camillus made, with the federal style shield. The blades all have good snap and no wobble. The handles are not very good at all. This is a filler example until I find a nicer one. Of course, it is another Camillus 72 variation.

Skip, I do like that federal scout shield!

[New_Windsor_NY]

Skip, I do like that federal scout shield!

Thank you Doc B. I've been looking for one of this style for awhile. I knew when I bought it that the handles were messed up, but figured better this one than none. I have an Imperial Scout Knife (posted on page 2) with a plastic federal style shield. I have to find that knife with a metal federal shield also. The hunt goes on.............

Today I received this mint condition, swelled center, 3-blade, Remington whittler pocket knife. There is no pattern # stamped or etched on the tang. But, per the seller, the # is RE18293. Another Camillus 72 variation off the list. Now for the wood handled variation.

[Doc B]

Ooh! That one's still sparkly and shiny! Nice!!!

It looks good Skip.

[jerryd6818]

What ever the seller says, it's still an R-14.

[New_Windsor_NY]

It looks good Skip.

Thank you doglegg for pointing me towards this one.

Whatever the seller says, it's still an R-14.

Oh, I had no doubts that this was a R14.

Well, mystery knife arrived today. I'm just going to call it an unbranded, 3 blade, swelled center, whittler, pocket knife. I don't care if it was made in Pakistan, China or by a 5 year old girl in Indonesia. To me, and after all, that's all that matters, this IS a Camillus 72 variation. I can find no trace of any kind of tang stamp or manufacturer mark or country of origin. It measures 3 5/8" long, closed. It has nice weight to it. All the blades have great snap and no wobble. It looks NICE!

As long as you're happy with it, who gives a flip what anyone else thinks.

Exactamundo!

Got this Ulster 63 yesterday. There is no shield (by design) and no pattern # anywhere on this particular knife.
Another variation of a variation?
I'm still looking for the "63" with the pattern # on the opposite side of the main tang stamp.
