All About Pocket Knives

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.DSCN6709.JPGDSCN6710.JPGDSCN6711.JPGDSCN6712.JPGDSCN6713.JPGDSCN6714.JPGDSCN6715.JPG

Very cool. I like it!!

Thanks P B

Tommy, your name is first on the list. I probably never will but you never know. Thanks.

Added this one to my Camillus 72 family today. A Camillus 72 Yellow Jacket in the yellow delrin handles. Blades are tight with no wobble, great snap, but do have small scratches, and I need to do a sharpening and a little work on the coping blade to even the edge. The Yellow Jacket etch is present on the master blade but a little weak. Other than that a great addition in a variation I didn't have.

Papa B, nice ,that’s another great pick up, you’ve got some good connections !!,. That’s another one on my radar. Thanks for posting it

Some people have a disliking for the yellow handles, I am not one of them.
VERY nice acquisition Smitty.

Appreciate it Skip. As for the yellow handles, I don't dislike them either.

Sweet pick up Papa Bones. I like the yellow as well.

...I must admit I'm not crazy about the yellow handles!!...my favorite handles are and always will be the old original rogers jigged bone!!!!............ ................

I'm with you Tommy. Yellow handles don't get my juices flowing but I don't hate them so I buy them anyway.
Nice pickup Smitty.

Sigh. It has a Camillus tang stamp. I'll go with variation but it's not a clone.

That's the way I was thinking Jerry.

Appreciate it guys.

Love the pic great piece ^

Finally received this one late yesterday. A Camillus 72 Swell Center Whittler late production with Black bone handles. It has the Camillus double line tang stamp with the same stamp design on the shield. It has the black bone handles, and shows no wear or evidence of ever being sharpened after production. The blades are tight, no wobble and great snap. They have the original finish, but do have some minor age spots on the blade and springs. The blade well is clean. The pictures were taken after removing the package from the shipping carton. I've done nothing since other than oil the blades.

Nice one Smitty!
That one doesn't pop up that often.
Don't forget to post it under the variation/clone topic.

Today I add this CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife to my collection. This was one pocket knife out of a lot/group of four that I purchased, but NOT for this particular knife.

It required no cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Very nice skip, beautiful blades and doesn't look like any shrinkage on the handles. Nice score. Since that wasn't the one you bought the set for, just keep me in mind if you get tired of her.
