All About Pocket Knives

A little 1st generation Camillus 72 fished out of the bay. More pics in the Camillus forum.

Looking good Floyd!!!

Thanks John.

There is just something about those ol’ 72’s! Great looking knife, Floyd.

Thanks Philip, they sure have me hooked.

I picked up these two pocket knives at the post office today. Another Allen Cutlery Company, 2 blade, jack knife (first 2 pictures) and another HOLLINGER FREMONT OHIO, 3 blade "whittler" (last 2 pictures). Yes, the Hollinger Fremont is a Camillus 72 variation. I gave both knives the once over, but neither needed any serious cleaning. These are MY pictures.

The 72 variation is an eye catching knife!
What material are the handles?

Thank you treefarmer. I hate to use the "C" word, but I do believe that the handles are celluloid. The seller's ad description said "plastic." Oh, the liners are gimped.

Skip that H F is a very good find. And you are getting quite a collection of Allen Cutlery as well. Good job of seeking and finding my friend.

Thank you Floyd. You did very well yourself with that 1st generation 72.

Beautiful knife Floyd! Looks like a really cool piece! Like the color contrast between the shield & the handles. It really catches the eye.

Thanks TPK, old bone always speaks to me and especially if it's on a 72. Thank you.

I'm a 72 with old bones. Are you flirting with me? I am a very happily married man. I'm married, she's happy!

You're 47 and lucky to be married!!!

Today, my trip to the post office produced these two knives. Another EAGLE KNIFE COMPANY, single blade, jack pocket knife and another GEO. SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle, jack pocket knife. Both received the once over, but gently. They will both be posted in their appropriate location(s). These pictures are mine.

Like them both Skip, especially the Schrade.

My phone is IP68 certified, withstands a drop of 5 meters of concrete, but its camera is not a strong point. USSR Navy knife. The other knives are for scale.

Yesterday's delivery. Two more marked "Out for delivery" today.

Today, my trek to the post office produced this knife. A GEO. SCHRADE, PAT APD FOR, single blade, jack pocket knife. I didn't have to do a thing to it. It's in fantastic condition. More pictures in "Knife Lore." These are MY pictures.

Wow! Really nice. Beautiful and unusual.

Thank you Mark. The colors don't really come out in the pictures that well. The handles are a shiny copper color and have a "bumpy" appearance to them, but they feel smooth when the knife is held. Also, the whole knife is magnetic. I also think it's quite unusual, but that's what I like about it.

Nice Mini Trapper Jerry! Great looking handle colors!

Skip, it looks like they managed to capture a Ray skin appearance. I can see the copper color. Interesting about the texture, I wouldn’t have thought that would feel smooth. Haven’t seen one like this before. It’s really nice.
