..I would really like to know if anyone has ever seen this bone or milled liners on a Camillus whittler before??.these are the only 2 like this I have ever seen!!..... ..............

I've only seen them on yours. The 80 had milled liners but that was a lot later. Never seen bone like that. Lovely knives.

After reading all the post's on Camillus #72 I purchased one. I have got to stop reading all the post's on AAPK It makes me want to buy the knife to see what everyone is talking about. I am happy with it. So money well spent.

Looks great! Congrats! You know those 72's are carnivores right? They normally live in packs! LOL!

[Nev52]

Thanks' Men. The knife does have a good feel. I will need self control!!

Tom,
I just noticed you have the Maryland flag on your ID. Where in Maryland did you live?

[DM11]

I will need self control!!

Yes you will or you'll end up like us with 72's every where. 72's multiply quicker than rabbits.

It's a very seductive knife.

Tommy, here's a four line Sword Brand that has the milled liners. Same blade configuration as a first gen 72 but it has a standard nail nick.

Greg, here's a Sears 9511 Sta-Sharp tang stamped "Highcarbon Steel", that's a mate to it. Pre-1941 maybe??????? Handles look like they're the same material only yours aren't cracked. The liners on mine are brass and not milled like yours.

Well that's odd Jerryd. No milled liners on that one. I've got a Wood Carver too somewhere. I'll have to go through the pile now and check that out.

Same Milk Dud handles? (I've forgotten what they call that material but I think I remember it was milk based.)

[doglegg]

Greg, Jerry you two are showing new things to watch out for. Wow! you fellows impress me with your collection. Thanks.

[carrmillus]

..those last 2 are making me drool!!!!........ ............

Here's the Wood Carver Jerryd, Black Composite without milled liners. I also have a High Carbon Steel that has the milled liners that looks like a first gen 72.

[doglegg]

Wow. Greg, I am over whelmed. Wow! Wonderful knives.

[gsmith7158]

Wow. Greg, I am over whelmed. Wow! Wonderful knives.

Thanks Floyd! You can most definitely let yourself get carried away here in the realm of the 72.

[DM11]

Greg and Jerry its great to see those knives again!

....greg, the top one has done flung a cravin' on me!!!!!............ ...........(btw), I'm still carrying the little Camillus rogers bone sleeveboard you gave me!!!............... ........................

Absolutely positively FANTASTIC looking knives Greg and Jerry.


I just obtained this knife. A Camillus 72, 3 blade, swelled center, short line, 1st generation, "whittler" pocket knife. When I receive it, I'll check it out thoroughly, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

[jerryd6818]

Now there's one fine looking 1st Gen. I think I feel my gills turning at least a light shade of green.
