Thank you Sir, catch you later.

You seldom see one in that good of condition. Be very, very carefull with those JP. It's a slippery slope. Ask me how I know.

Jerry, you are correct ,already been on the prowl for others on my list. Sure see a lot of nice stuff posted here,and it’s getting harder to find . Especially when you don’t buy off eBay or anything else like it. Thanks and take care.

...now there is one for the books!!!!................. ...................

Received this 72 from Ebay today. It is a wood handle two line marked 72 Orvis shield. I know of the Remington wood handle one and one catalogued in 2003 with a wood handle called a #5 and this one. I wonder if this Orvis and the Remington were made in 2003 as well. It is a rough little knife with a lot of rust on the blades and the wood handles a little discolored but proud to find it.

Very nice 72, there Doglegg,they’re about the perfect knife ,as has been said here before. What Was the Orvis shield about? A hardware store or business? Not seen that one ,very nice knife. Thanks for sharing that.

GREAT find Floyd!
Don't forget to post it in the "72 Clones" thread.

Floyd, the Orvis was 1996 as can be seen in this picture. If your knife were a little "fresher" you could see that on the small clip blade.

Ripster the Orvis is as in the fly fishing tackle Orvis company. If I remember correctly (and there's no guarantee of that) there were (I wanna say) four river names on four different Camillus patterns.
One I could find quickly online was a Camillus Trapper etched "Battenkill 1994" and "Orvis".

Skip, do what you want but I really wouldn't call this a clone. It's more of an advertising knife made for Orvis by Camillus (check the tang stamp). Think the Coke 72's.

.....another version I wasn't aware of!!!.............. ...............

I don't consider it a "clone", I consider it a "variation." I made the big mistake of naming that thread "Camillus 72 Clones" instead of Camillus 72 Variations. So I actually referred Floyd to the "correct" thread.

Thanks Tommy, Skip and Jerry. Lots of corrosion on the blades, I'll have to look again for a blade etch. Thanks again.

Short line 72

Long line delrin

Really, really good grab Steve. It's an honor to have one in that condition.

Steve, very nice 72 s . They’re sure a nice one to hold in the hand ,especially the old bone.
Thanks for posting those. Have a good one.

Mighty fine old bone and sweet little Delrin as well. On the short line I should have said exceptionally fine as well.
