Congrats Nick!CluelessNick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 2:52 pm My first camillus 72. Surfing Ebay and this seller had a brand new knife for buy it now for the strange price of $33.57. It was the only knife she had in her items for sale. Claimed it was still in cellophane but the wrapper fell apart when she opened it. Got it for around $40.00 total. It looks new with factory oil on pivots. Will see when it gets here.
Wish I could find one of those deals! 
Thanks Tom, was kind of shocked when I saw it.TPK wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 3:41 pmCongrats Nick!CluelessNick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 2:52 pm My first camillus 72.

A couple of us got one like that in crumbly wrapper, they are like mint condition. Did clean mine up good as the oil and factory grease gets gummy after sitting all those years .
Excellent find , welcome to 72 country
Oh boy, Nick. You dun messed up now! 72's are a world of their own. There are so many variations, and handles, long line, short line, scout knives, well you get the picture.

Well yeah but I'm not like you guys. I've got willpower and self control. I won't try to buy every knife in the world. Anyway that's what I keep telling myself but it's not working.toomanyknives wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 4:16 pmOh boy, Nick. You dun messed up now! 72's are a world of their own.

Nice! I've been buying more and more lockbacks around 2.5" to 3" closed (some a little smaller, like your Boker). They get most of what one needs, without weighing me down.
Thanks Cody!
I have seen some nice smaller Herbertz knives. Just thought I'd mention it in case you don't have that brand on radar. Tom, that is a dang nice Boker lock back . Good for you my friend, and the price,you did good

Pretty awesome!zzyzzogeton wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 8:56 pm And to prove my point, here is the latest acquisition - a French M1804 Naval Cutlass made by Klingenthal for export to the Mexican government. This particular weapon was taken as a prize of war from the Mexican Navy ship AMADO during the U.S./Mexican War in 1846. It was then carried as the personal side arm of a Mississippi River Pilot aboard the CSS Arkansas in 1862.
