The maker's mark is pretty worn, but it looks like I might have one more Short-Line in the stash that I over looked....

Morning G dog, Kind of cool to find a 72 you didn’t know that you had!! It looks to be 2 nd gen 72,bone covers , and May very well be a short line .GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 9:54 pmYou are welcomeLooking on the forum with all the knowledgeable members has got me
looking a lot closer at my own collection. It got me searching through all my knife boxes...I think the other day I found a #72 that I had not noticed to be a Short-Line before
I just posted it here... I'll the experts decide...

In any case ,nice looking 72, would make a great EDC !

Yesterday, this pocket knife got added to my collection. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line tang stamp, 2nd generation, "whittler" pocket knife. It needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Today, this pocket knife joined my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 23, 2 blade, short line, 4 7/32" closed pocket knife. This is my second "23", but my first short line "23." It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
