camillus #72

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Super nice gentlemen. You shamed me into snapping a few pictures today of my Camillus 72 & Clones pile. Nowhere as nice and organized as those from Floyd & Skip but here they are.

I just bought, for best offer, this Camillus 72, 3 blade, swelled center, short line, "whittler" pocket knife. It will receive a once over when it arrives. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

This Camillus 72 arrived today. To say it has seen some use is an understatement. But I like it anyway and it won't see any further physical activity. I gave it a much needed, mild, gentle cleaning. The before pictures of this knife are four posts above this one. I took some pictures and here is the knife.

A special treat today. Tommy aka Carrmillus sent me pics of two of his old 72 whittlers. Both have beautiful bone handles and milled liners. The first is a split spring whittler
