Thanks my fellow dog!

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.

That's what I thought. So I took a chance on it. Will let ya'll know when it arrives. Plus I've not had that many chances to find a shortline 72.

Thanks again Smitty. I picked up a few challenge coins here and there and even some overseas... I spent a little time in a Place that used to be known as the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. I think it is now called the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" ... as of about 11 days ago. ...

Thanks... it just needs to be BIGGER!

Congratulations, Smitty. I'm looking forward to seeing that one. And a nice box from GSPTOPDOG, too.

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."
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Wonderful bone and blades. Excellent example. Wonderful knife.

Beautiful knife Skip!!

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.

Thank you JP.

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
