Skip that is a wonderful example. And the price was very reasonable as well. Proud for you.

Exquisite pair JP!!Ripster wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 7:11 pm Afternoon fellas,sitting here going thru some knives, looking thru these pages of 72s . Over the years sure been some nice stuff here. Just ordered a new in package from
Knifeaholic, and am anxiously awaiting it. In the mean time gotta post a 72 ,or 2 ! Been shown b4 but feel like getting involved instead of just drooling over all your pics. So till the new 72 shows up ,you’ll have to put up with my contribution of these 2. May EDC the long line when the other one comes in. Or should just buy a user one? Good reason to keep looking around for another one
Take care ,stay warm![]()

Re: camillus #72
JP you’re showing some nice ones.
I’ve been in the wood shop for a couple of days so my trusty 72 has been in my pocket. Great knives for wood working.

Re: camillus #72
Evening all, got a couple of 72s in today . The New in wrapper ,from Knifeaholic came in 4 to 5 days ,great Service. Had decided when buying it from Steve that was going to play with it a little , so cleaned it up ,put some Filtz on it and will give it a drop or two of good oil . Will put it away for awhile.
Also received my EDC 72 . This one is tight ,lightly used and will feel right at home in the pocket . Bought from this seller for the first time, and may do more . Happy hunting out there . Stay safe .

Both are keepers for sure! The more I tote them the harder it is to pack anything else.

Yes, Steve shipped quick. Mine came in today also. The only thing I've done is wiped it down with a Case leather chammy, and oil the joints. But I do plan on doing some Flitz on the bolsters & blades as they do have some oil stains from sitting especially near the joints. After looking closely at the handles through a 60X lighted jewlers scope, I do believe these handles are black composite and not delrin. Here is mine. Very pleased with it.
