Say wha' ??????

Well Mr. Tongueincheek, you might find Camillus 72 knives mildly interesting. Certainly nothing fancy on this one but the price. Got a 9494 coming you somehow missed Skip. If ups cooperates. Got a 72 coming that I'm really excited about but don't want to say much until it is in hand. Skip I think you and you too Jerry will like it. Thanks.

Hi Skip,

Camillus 72's and their "clones" are a swell-center whittler knife pattern that seem to be popular among some collectors. Check them out, you may like them.

Skip, if you don't know I'm jokin' right along with you, you ain't been paying attention.

Thank you Tom, I think I will check them out.

Yes Jerry, I know that you're kidding.

Skip, my last name is Jester (and that's no joke) so I usually know when a leg is being pulled (more easy to tell when a finger is pulled). I appreciate your humor.

Floyd, you must be of English lineage.

Jerry, I'm sure I would qualify as a pure bred mut.

I acquired this knife earlier this evening. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, bone handles, short line, "whittler" pocket knife. It looks good, but when I receive it I'll check it over. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Glad you got that one Skip. It looks to be in great shape. I tried for that first generation that was in such good shape but missed it. I was hoping you got it.

Thank you Floyd. The first generation "72", I didn't try for it. It sold for $155 and that's insane. But, to each his own.

This morning I bought this knife for best offer. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, long line, "whittler" pocket knife. Physically, it looks like it's in pretty good shape. The pin above the shield is not broken or missing. Cosmetically, the blades need cleaning. When it arrives, it'll get the once over. I will take pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Fished this one out of the bay. I thought it was of rare origin but turned out to be just a very knice long line brown stag. But it is in great condition so I am pleased. Thanks for looking.

Nice one Floyd!

VERY clean Floyd, great catch.

Thanks David and Skip. The sellers pic were from an angle that didn't show a line. But alas it is a long line. I'm still satisfied. Thanks for your kind words.

I just couldn't resist. I got this one for less than $9.00, not including shipping and working man's punishment fee. Another CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, long line, "whittler" pocket knife. It looks like it's in nice shape. The blades look like they could use a little cleaning, maybe not. When it arrives, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Good shape on that one.

..I have 2(maybe 3) like this and they have the pen blade paired with the master?????............. ..........

I snagged this one yesterday. I couldn't resist the BIN price.
It's a bit nasty but the blades look full. I think it will clean up OK..... .
OH.... BTW..... I saw a heavily worn Stanley on the bay yesterday. BUT... I recon the #72 folks have already found it. It is paired with another knife and already at a price that is more than I want to pay.

Mike, I bet it won't stay like that very long. Great pick up.
