I just picked up this Camillus 72 at the post office. It is a 3 blade, swelled center, short line, "whittler" pocket knife. I gave it a thorough, but gentle cleaning. I snapped some pictures of it and here it is.

Skip, I never get tired of those old bone handle ones.

Picked this one up about an hour ago at the antique store. Jerry says first generation made by Camillus for Sears. Just Made in USA on tang. Thanks for looking!

Thank you Doc. Seen it a week ago but let it slide. Just couldn't pass it up this week. Been thinking about it all week. I was sure it wouldn't be there but there it was. Got lucky I reckon. Thanks for the kind words.

Nice looking knife Kevin. I would consider it a Camillus 72 variation rather than an actual Camillus 72.

Got a rare one there Woodwalker. Don't see those around much. Great score.

Thanks for the info Skip. I have admired all you 72's and clones and was hoping I could find one like yours I could carry. I have two short line 72's with Roger's bone but just will not EDC them for fear I will mess them up. I have been wanting one I could EDC and I think this will be the one. Thank you for showing all your fine Camillus knives here. It sure has been a pleasure to view and thank you for your knowledge that you freely share. Have a great night.

Thanks Kevin. Now I have to find a 72 variation like yours. The hunt is 99% of the fun, at least to me. This might be a streeetch, but if your knife was indeed made by Camillus, for Sears, then does that make it a Craftsman? And if it is a Craftsman, then it is a pattern 9494. I'm 99.99% sure that my Craftsman 9494 knives were all Schrade made. Kevin, PLEASE post your knife here also:

Dad picked this one up for me at a gun show yesterday for $5. It’s well used and worn but I like it anyway.

VERY nice 72. I really like those handles.

[DM11]

Good score Colonel. Those old ones are still sweet even if rode hard and put away wet. I got some of those well loved ones and I like'um just the same.

[woodwalker]

Very nice 72! Enjoy!

[doglegg]

I've already commented once on this knife but you are wrong in the description. It is not used and worn.... It's just broke in. Congrats on such a sweet knife.

Thanks guys. I agree. A knife doesn’t get sharp until it’s well , lol.

I have two others in better shape, but I’m always on the lookout for these. I don’t know how dad does it, but he can scoop out deals way better than I can.
