Nice pick-up. You must be getting a nice collection of these by now.
Appreciate it Cudgee. Actually this only makes my fourth 72, but I have 15 other variations or clones so to speak.

That makes it even more impressive, they are obviously hard to get, and being selective makes it more worthwhile.

Here's a recent pick up.
This a great AAPK knife. Single blade and nice and thin. In fact the pile side of this one is slightly concave to make it more pocket friendly, light and easy to handle. It's really nice. I may just carry this one.
Congrats, fabulous Mustang and AAPK trim. Yeeeaaaaaaaaahhhh

Finally received this one late yesterday. A Camillus 72 late production Swell Center Whittler. Has the Camillus late production double line tang stamp and the same stamp on the shield. Black bone handles and I don't believe has been used. Blades are tight, great snap, don't appear to have been sharpened and inside the blade wells are very clean. Does have a couple of small spots on the blades and on the springs. But a great addition to my Camillus 72 family.
I like the bone, nice catch

Are handles definitely bone ? The jigged black handled 72's i have had were synthetic.

Yes, The late issue with this tang stamp and this shield in black are bone. I was skeptical myself, but several other AAPK members told me this particular issue is bone. Might want to check down this thread

Look at the handles through a 60X lighted loop and you can definitely tell it's bone. I purchased one of these loops from amazon, they really come in handy when looking at a set of scales.

Very handy thing to have in the kit, that would be good for inspecting edges when sharpening.

I have a similar lighted loupe. Think it is 40X but the resolution is poor so it is not as helpful as my basic Zeiss 9X.
When i posted about the Camillus jigged black handles i thought they might be bone but the 'experts' replied: "not bone" and said all the black Camillus are synthetic. Seems the opinion on these handles is divided.

Roland, there were several late knives with black bone handles. Harley Davidson HD21, Flying Ducks, Remington and the one Papa Bones posted. I probably missed one but those come to mind.

Smitty,
That magnifier you have is pretty nice. I have a loupe, but it's a small hand held one that I have to move back & fourth to get the proper focus and then try to maintain that focus, plus adjusting ambient light just right to get a good photo. My eyes are not all that good anymore, so it was getting frustrating. So, this is what I just picked up so I can look at the markings on knives that are hard to read or I need more magnification. The nice thing about this item is; It's USB, hooks up to my computer so I can see what it is I'm looking at...and then take a photo of it. I'm terrible at taking macro photos with my camera...I can never get the lighting right and takes me a dozen times to finally get a decent photo. Hopefully, this will alleviate all those issues I've been having in getting hard to see markings.

Here's one I rely on at home and knife shows, when we used to have knife shows.

I was too late to score a 2020 AAPK Club Knife, but I did manage to score a Blade Forum 2020 Club Knife - just opened it up and it looks cool. Very different than any pocketknife I have owned before - Viper brand made in Italy too, first Italian made pocketknife I have owned. OH

That's a nice knife, Bruce. I really like that wharncliffe, and the handles are attention getters.

Very nice O.H.!
Gorgeous, a warrnie, a Viper, and Italian, all the ingredients of a great folder!
Congratulations, it's stunning!

Now that is really nice, especially to a gadget freak like me. Might just have to add that one.
The one that I posted about is good, but sometimes you have to play with adjusting the scope part. It raises up and down, then just set the edge against what your looking at. But sometimes it is a mite persnickety.

From the bottom of the bay, I think these are saying
" you better back off over yonder and look at me again"
Or maybe " 12 months from the day you mess with me you gonna be dead a freaking year".

It ought to fit in with these!

Lambsfoot style blades are one of my favorites, and you sir have a mighty fine collection there.
