Jumping back into knife collecting. Its been a couple of years since I last posted any 72's and their clones. I sold most of mine off. I had a bunch of short lined ones in bone that were just awesome. I can't believe how much the value of these knives has gone up! I recently picked up a few to start rebuilding my collection.

In this bunch, front to back, are a yellow jacket, a Rigid, a 22 rim fire and a couple of Remingtons.

In this bunch, front to back are three long line 72's. an Ulster that Jerry D. gave me several years ago and a Kutmaster.

And in this bunch, front to back, a short line 72 in Ebony that I recently rebuilt, a 1042 scout that I put some deer antler tine on. It was one of the first knives that I rehandled many years ago. A long line 72, an Imperial scout 72 clone and a Craftsman Keen Kutter.

I have two more short liner 72s on the bench all cut apart waiting for me to give them a new set of jigged bone covers. I'll post them when they are finished. Boy I forgot how addictive these are. Wished I had those bone handled short line 72's back!

Awhile back I posted one of the same and asked some questions. You and / or Jerryd responded that it was a Holiday SFO but I can’t remember where that info was posted . Do you remember off hand ? Thanks . Here’s a pic of the one I have stashed away.

I though I was sold on the CAMILLUS 72... now I am leaning toward the # 67 ... am I guilty of a sort of "infidelity"? Is there a road back to redemption?

Judge Jerry is a hard a$$ Marine so you might be doing pushups in the mud for a while. Be sure to count them out so he can hear you!

Opps! Thank you Sir! May I have another?

[jerryd6818]

A 67? Why that's just an everyday stockman. I say, I say, that's just heresy son. Gotta find some way to get your mind right. Get down and give me 50 and count 'em out loud.

[doglegg]

You go ahead and buy all those 67's and leave the 72's to others. That is my unselfish suggestion.

Sir! Yes Sir! 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 ...One! 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 ...Two! 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 ...Three! This is going to be a long posting I may have to take a break... I not in the same shape I was back in the "Olden Times" ...

Are any of us. I couldn't pump out one. I'd fall flat on my nose.

When I was around 33 or 34 years old I had to do a PT test and I did over 100 push ups in 1 minute. Now I can hardly push my self up out of my "lazy-Boy" chair... and THAT is with the incentive of getting up and getting an ice cold beer out of the fridge

I hear ya Bro. My how things have changed.

[Colonel26]

You boys must have snatched up all the remaining good 72’s. On the rare occasion I have a minute to look for them on the bay, most of what I see are worn out, broken down nags.

I need to get my priorities right and spend more time on line looking at knives!

I am trying for redemption today for the error of my ways by EDC-ing my Short-Line #72 ...The real question is is it too little too late?
