I need to get my priorities right and spend more time on line looking at knives!

Colonel, I'll tell you what...

I have had a tough time bidding on the Flea Bay... I make a bid and next thing you know... Bam! I see a notice "Outbid"

and you are 100% right there is a lot of worn out, broken down nags there.

Worse, is that I came down with a bad case of "Short-Line Fever"

awhile back and the only cure seems to be finding more Short-Lines

which seem to be few and far between

You guys just need to do like I do. I never lose an auction to a sniper. I just go straight for the high priced "Buy It Now" items!

Good one Colonel!

I was bombed by Reverend today with this 72. This one I’m not sure about. I think it was made by Camillus. It has a McGrew shield. Obvious Camillus delrin handles and sports a Western USA tang stamp. The pile side is marked stainless W742. I believe the Western 742 is a stockman. What I think happened was that Camillus was in a hurry to make knives towards end and assembled the knife with whatever parts they had on hand. Anyone have any ideas?

Posted: **Tue Sep 14, 2021 10:36 am**

Wow! Now that’s an interesting knife for sure. I’m shocked that a Weatern 742 clip blade, which is from a 4” stockman, fits into that package. Hmmm. I dare say you have a one of a kind!

It sure does look nice though.

Very nice bomb package. As to the knife,you maybe correct that it’s a end of days knife for Camillus. It does make a interesting conversation piece.

Posted: **Tue Sep 14, 2021 1:42 pm**

Very interesting knife and a wonderful gift. Sure a lot of red headed step children in the 72 clan!!!

Posted: **Tue Sep 14, 2021 2:42 pm**

That's a good possibility JP. I have a few "end of days" Camillus knives and it's interesting to see what they made for who.

The variations of Camillus end of days knives never cease to amaze me. Very nice Bomb and Good on Reverend for being the Bombardier

Nice finds for sure!!

I have some others but this one caught my eye. It was listed over on Facebook Camillus Knife Collectors. I contacted the seller and we came to a price and it lives at my house now. 2nd generation short line with bone handles in what I think is pretty good shape. Thanks for looking.

That's a good one, Dlegg! I still haven't found a bone 72 that meets my money for condition ratio. They are either way too much money, or look like a truck ran over them. I'll find one eventually. Luckily I like the black handles they put on them. That one you just got has just the right patina. Enjoy it!
