Camillus 72 Clones

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.

Awesome Kutmaster with some beautiful scales. Now it begs the question...I wonder if it was also produced with the "T" stamp with the Tungsten Blades?

Today I'm adding this CAMILLUS 72 variation to my collection. It's another SCHRADE 863, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. It required some cleaning. It has a couple of issues. It is missing the shield and the main blade sits a bit high. This does not bother me. I took some pictures and here it is.

Very nice looking 863 Skip. Keep your eyes open, you may find a replacement shield. Sharpen that sucker up and put it in your edc occasionally. ::tu::

This R14 like new came in a few days early. Got off the bay, came with box,paperwork and in like new condition. Had a few rub marks in one of the secondary blades , but got that out without ruining factory finish. Will put a little wax on it and lube the joints and stick it over in my clone corner.
Take care. Stay Safe ::tu::

This afternoon, this pocket knife became the most recent addition to my CAMILLUS 72 variation collection. Although it does not have a pattern number on it, it is another ULSTER 63, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. It also has a tang stamp that I don't already have. It needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

What's strange is that out of the twelve "63s" that I have,
only two have black handles. Both of them, by design,
have no shields.
