Floyd, is that Bear any good. The one I have isn't worth the powder it would take to blow it to hades. BAD workmanship.

Good scores Floyd!

Won this Craftsman 9494 couple weeks ago.

Whoa David, very good pick up.

Jerry, the Bear is certainly not the quality of the Camillus or Schrade or Ulster. If it was the only knife I had it would serve but not the quality of the other ones.

You guys know how much I hate and despise Camillus 72s and the variations. But I have to give credit where credit is due.
VERY NICE!!

This Camillus 72 "short-line" arrived today. My first Camillus 72 without a shield (by design).

Got this one in today. Besides someone’s bad attempt at removing the rust spots, it’s in excellent condition. May have been very lightly used but I believe it has not been sharpened. My 2nd 72 and I’m so happily addicted to them!

That’s a fine 72!

We don’t see many that nice.

Nice knife
It looks to be a second generation bone handles.

kai, those old bone handled ones are a prize indeed. And that one looks very good. Excellent acquisition!

Thank you gentlemen!! So very pleased to find this one.

If you're a Camillus 72 hound and don't have one of the Yellow-Jaket's with the Yellow-Jaket shield yet, there's one on eBay right now. These don't come up for auction very often so it's worth your consideration.

I saw that one Jerry, fortunately I already have one. But they do seem to be something of a prize. Thanks.

It's a month long auction. Maybe someone will see this who wants one and doesn't have one.

That one is as hard to find as the three 1990's bone handle editions.

Jerry I think I have the plane black one on the way. I'll know when it gets here. Also have a hammer brand on the way.

Thanks David.

Floyd, in my opinion, that plain black bone edition is the most difficult to acquire.

Jerry...I now

have you to blame, for owning this knife,

I've picked up about ten different 72 versions. Based on your assessment, I offered the guy $50 (he had it listed at $65) and he took it. I'd never looked at this knife before...but this one appears unused, with some minor speckling on the blades. Can't say the picture did a whole lot for me...but in hand, this is a very good looking knife, the bee is very crisp and clear.

Congrats Doc on a great score!

I happily shoulder the blame Doc. You got yourself a good one there.

Doc, that is a really good score. I looked a while before finding one. Excellent.

I fished the elusive plain black bone out of the bay the other day. Pretty much new. I was surprised again that I was the only one bidding. One I had really been looking for so glad to get it.
