Today I add this pocket knife to my collection. It's another CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line, "whittler" pocket knife. This was one knife out of a lot/group of four pocket knives that I bought. I paid $7.99, NOT including the working man's punishment fee and shipping. So, round it off to $8.00, divide that by four and I ended up paying $2.00 for this knife. Not bad, if I do say so myself. It did need some minor cleaning. I cleaned it up, I took some pictures and here it is.

$2.00 for a first generation 72!!!!

Thank you Tommy. Yes, I know you're kidding. I DO have a sense of humor. Although it's a very dark, twisted, gallows type sense of humor.

No reason to "bust" you. They're the same knife except for the shield. The 1047 is just the Scout version and doesn't have a pattern stamp on the blade.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Thanks.....

Since you were addressing me, I'll simply say you're welcome.
