The 72 is the unofficial AAPK pocket knife. ::nod::

Almost like a rite of passage or membership necessity.

And rightly so. It's a great medium sized Goldilocks knife. Not too small, not too big. Just right.

Yep, McGrew. Made by Camillus. In my estimation, $30-$50.

I offered $45 and received an instant declination. He's up in "Ditwtexas" territory on this one. I might offer $75 if I really felt a need for it (which I don't) but even that is a stratosphere price to pay for the knife. $60 - $65 is stretching it.

Yep, I have seen a couple of knives up in that country this morning....
Makes me think.... "now, just who would pay a price like that...."

BUT, there are folks out there that will pay $1,000 for a corn flake that looks like the face of Jesus.

Go figure.

I paid $41 (plus shipping) for this one and didn't record the price I paid for my other one.

Yep... that is a really RARE Cheeto Jerry..... Gotta be worth at least $1500...
(you better get you a glass case for it.... that middle finger sure looks fragile)

::tu::

PS.... I REALLY like the knife better than the Cheeto.

Thank you Greg. I'm trying to find a few. With all the manufacturing changes and clones its fun to collect.
