All About Pocket Knives

Wow! That's a nice one.

I need one more myself. Then I'll have one put back for each boy...... but who am I kidding, I probably won't be able to stop there.

Great looking knife Felix, way to go Greg a most generous offer.

Randy I had almost as much fun just watching the auction as I do when I'm bidding on one!

I did, Greg. Last second bid.

Sorry, guys.

I ran up on a 1047 Boy Scout earlier today that I think is pretty special. I'll post some pics this weekend if it comes.

Hope I didn't run ya up too high. It got swiftly out of hand there!

Congrats Felix.... but I am a bit sad.... I will say if I was still working I would have bid more than what I did! Glad it went to Felix though!

Thanks for the concern there, Tony, but it's all part of the friendly competition. Like I mentioned earlier on this - my favorite - thread, I emptied out the old Foster's Lager "the oil can". Turns out I had $129.32. Some pennies sneaked in there somehow.

I got an email notice from feebay today when I went in to check if my pay pal payment had cleared. There's another 72 shortline - 2nd gen. It's pretty used up but haven't had the time to really look at it. I'll post the link later if you can't find it. Thanks again, buddy.

Thanks, Randy. You're a class act, buddy! Check out the 2nd gen. I described.

PS - I wonder who came in second?

Well I didn't come in second, but I did run you up some. But alas it got out of my wheelhouse too.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Colonel. All is fair in love, war and bidding for 72s.

Unleash the hounds!!!

Here's the link to that 2nd gen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/311867429151?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

And to think I held out hopes that the 'stag bone' in the title of the listing might throw some of you hounds off the scent.

That's a fine looking specimen Felix. Congratulations.

Tony, you're a riot! Sorry for unleashing the hounds on your stached find. Had I known any of you had caught on to the scent I would have let it play out without stepping in. I won't be going after it... if that helps any. I hope you get it, pal. Good luck!

Thanks, Jerry. Your approval is vidal with any 72, especially a 1st generation. Glad you like it, buddy.

This is a short line I'm particularly proud of. I got it at the Badger Show in Janesville WI back in 2012. It's a 1047 Scout (no pattern stamp on the pile side of the main blade). It was made after the saber ground main blades were discontinued (flat ground on the pile side). "Boy Scout Whittler" is etched on the mark side of the main blade. No chips or cracks in the Roger's bone handles. All blades have the factory ground edge and all blades snap like a snapping turtle. Except for carbon spotting on the blades, it's in factory condition. I could be wrong but I believe it was one of the first 1047s Camillus made for the Boy Scouts.

It's the only one like it I've ever seen. Does anyone have one or has anyone ever ran across one other than this one? Not that I would ever sell it (because I wouldn't) but I have to wonder what one like it would bring on eBay.

Cuz it's hard to tell from the pics. You ought to send it to my house so that I can coon finger and chicken eye it for a while to get a more realistic idea of its value.

Sorry Cuz, I cain't. I be feared it would get lost in the mail.

Jerryd here's one that I have been lusting after ever since ronfish posted it. I assume he sill has it.

Here's one that I got yesterday. Tell me what you see that is unique about it.

Saber ground on both sides.

Yes sir ! Jerryd has one like it that we discussed one day so when this popped up on the bay I had to have it.
