Not yet. It could probably use some time on an oil stone or a strop, and I see it as more of a specialty knife. But maybe I'll carry it just for the heck of it.

Plus I've not had that many chances to find a shortline 72.
I'll be looking forward to seeing it!

On this fine morning, this beauty of a pocket knife joined my CAMILLUS collection. It's another CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line tang stamp, 1st generation, "whittler" pocket knife. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is of my other fourteen, short-line "72's." The top row are 1st generation "72's." The bottom row are 2nd generation "72's."

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Received this one in the mail yesterday. A Camillus Short Line 72 Carpenters Whittler. Has the black composite handles that did not come with a shield. It was a little dirty when I purchased it. Did the warm mineral oil soak last night, then flushed it out with WD-40, and brushed the handles with a nylon brush. Polished the blades and bolsters with Case Paste using a microfiber towel. Blades have great snap and no wobble.

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
I am looking at Camillus knives on eBay...
looking for Short-Lines
I still have "Short-Line Fever"
... So what is the deal with the crappy pictures people take on Flea-Bay?
...I can't see the maker's mark clearly to even tell if it is a Short-Line on a lot of the listings
