Thank you Jerry.

Doc, Skip I must say I eyed it for a while but decided I've already got a couple so did not pursue it. I would have probably lost anyway. That is one of the cleanest with full blades as I have seen. Really beautiful knife. Congrats Skip as I know you will take care of it and appreciate it. Excellent win.

Thank you Floyd.

I'm very pleased with it (from what I've seen) and can't wait for it to arrive. It will receive a place of honor among my other 72's.

I just obtained this knife. A Camillus 72, 3 blade, swelled center, short line, 1st generation, "whittler" pocket knife. When I receive it, I'll check it out thoroughly, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

AWESOME 72 Skip!! Congratts!

I recieved a package from my mom today.

4 boxes of PopTarts & a beautifully restored 72 from Jeffinn. My first "72" but surely not my last. You guys should see & feel the Winterbottom bone handles on this thing.

And the pins are perfect! Just slightly above the Bone & the pin heads are nicely mushroom shaped. No dings or scratches on them. Just really very nice work. I love it! Thanks Jeff, it's awesome!

He also shouldn't try to carve anything with a pop tart.

A cherry Pop-Tart would be an interesting
EDC though

Today I retrieved this knife from the post office. A Camillus 72, bone handles, 3 blades, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short-line, first generation, "whittler" pocket knife. It didn't really require any type of cleaning, but I did gently clean each blade. I took some pictures and here it is.

Picked up a Brown stag long line 72 while bottom feeding in the bay. Nothing fancy but cheap and I don't think I had a brown stag. Thanks for looking.

I never heard of Camillus 72 knives. But that looks like a VERY nice one. Congratulations Floyd.
