All About Pocket Knives

Thanks for showing it Greg. I have thought of it as CamilluCase 72. I had fun with that one!

Love it Greg.

I think its worth it but won't know until I get to fondle it for a bit. Here are a couple of the seller's pics. I'll post new pics after I receive the knife! Double saber grind too. It should clean up real nice!

Nice score Randy!

Randy Everhart(goldpan) rehandled this old first gen for me in some Case Greebone that he removed from one of my fixed blades. The boy has got skills.

Beautiful Greg!

It showed up today. It’s nicer than I thought. Here are the new pictures. Nice bones and that long pen blade are things I like about these. And the full saber master checks all the boxes.

That one is definitely a BEAUTY!
Congratulations!

Thanks guys!

Man I gotta say what a great friend Greg is! Several years ago I needed to get may car fixed and I didn't the money. So Greg and I came to deal that he would buy 12 of my 72's so that I could afford the repairs. After many years we have struck another deal to for me to buy back those knives! What a friend Greg is! I'm stoked about getting those back! Thanks again Greg! Greg and my other AAPK friends are like family to me! Can't say enough So here the knives in question: We have an Orvis in a presentation box.
A McGrew Hillbilly Special.
A Stanley.
Two 1047 Scout knives. One with round shield and the other the federal style.
Three craftsman 72's.
A couple of first gen with awesome bone handles.
And a short line second gen that I gave some Moose paddle covers to many years ago!
And a Camillus 72 box! Wow!
So I decided to add them all to my display case: Made a very nice display last night..... When I woke up this morning the glass was cracked because I over stuffed the case.
Guess I'll have buy a couple of new cases on pay day! Thanks again for helping bring these 72's home Greg!

Good for Greg on the buy backs and you have a great display of 72's. Love it.

Thanks!

Way to go Randy! Very happy to hear that your collection has come together... they all look great

Greg, you the Man!

Randy

Great display of fine knives. Greg is a great guy for sure! Congratts!!

VERY impressive!

Randy that’s a very nice looking display. You’ve come a long way in a short time
Greg pretty decent thing you done there . Very nice to read about things like this here on the forum .

Thanks JP!

I bought this on Halloween out of morbid curiosity. This afternoon, it arrived and joined my coIlection. It is a CAMILLUS 72, 2 blades, swelled center, short line tang stamp, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. It no longer has a third blade. After careful comparison of this CAMILLUS 72 pocket knife, to my other 1st and 2nd generation CAMILLUS 72 pocket knives, I'm 99.999% sure that this was a 1st generation CAMILLUS 72. If the third blade broke off, it broke off perfectly even from the tang. To me, this is still a good looking, early, CAMILLUS 72. I gave the blades a minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Bone handles, useable what's not to like.
