Yep, I agree!!jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 4:17 pm Thanks Mike. To me the Camillus 72 pattern (be it original Camillus or other brand) just cries out to be personalized.
5 beauties, and the last circuit board pattern would have to grow on me. Just looking at it, for some reason makes me think it should be a thumb drive.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 4:00 pm I derailed another thread with this post then decided it needed to be here as well.
I went through a phase and had several rehandled by various knife mechanics. I think my favorite is a tie between all 6 of them. The ivory by Wallace Rockwell, a stag handle by Herman Williams, another stag handle by Elvis (Bob Picklesimer), a ram's horn by I've forgotten who, a gold lip pearl handle by Wallace Rockwell and PCB (printed circuit board) by Glen. They've been posted singly here and there throughout the forum so here they all are in a single post.
The Camillus 72 and it's clones are not a one trick pony.
Having worked in and around the electronics and computer industry pretty much my entire working life, I have a different outlook on PCB's (printed circuit boards).Papa Bones wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 12:47 am 5 beauties, and the last circuit board pattern would have to grow on me.

I really like that first one the Scout knife, but that circuit board handle is a very imaginative idea.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 4:00 pm I derailed another thread with this post then decided it needed to be here as well.

I bought this one Grant. I'm sure it has been messed with. But I thought it interesting enough to bid on. I'll post pics when it gets here.

The only think I could see wrong was the pivot pin was a little shot when they spun it.
Now you have a three spring whittler

Can't wait to get it in hand. I'll share more pics. Thanksjerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 8:27 pm That was a very talented knife mechanic. He did a good job.
......................That's a beautiful piece of cutlery Floyd! Great find!doglegg wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 4:09 pm Well the franken 3 spring traditional whittler showed up. I sent an email to the seller and asked if he knew who had done the mod and he said that he didn't realize that it had been worked on. So the knife mechanic remains a secret. Great job on it. No half stops on any of the blades. All tight and great snap. Over all I am very pleased. More bulky than the original but still very comfortable. Thanks for looking.
