Jim, if it's a 1047 it won't have a pattern stamp on the blade. If it's a 72, it will be stamped 72.

No 72 stamp, so it's a 1047 then. Thanks Jerry.

Take Care .
JP, those three are for sure. I have a McGrew that is also black bone. I had posted before that I thought it was and after investigation it is indeed.

Floyd, you mention the McGrew with Bone . Received this one the other day. Came across it on the bay by accident while searching for something else. Was happy to get it at a fair price.

So now one more to go my friend. Need the one you posted last month with bone but no etch .
Hope you’re doing well down there. Been a cold winter for a lot of the Country!
Catch you all later ,stay warm.

Not said to discourage you but that one is a bit of a Unicorn. Good luck on your hunt.

Good going JP!!! Excited that someone else found one. If I see one of the plain bone ones I will give you a shout. Super glad you found the McGrew.

Yesterday, this pocket knife arrived and joined my CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 1st generation, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, 2 tang stamps (a short line maker stamp & a pattern # stamp), long matchstrike/blade pull, "whittler" pocket knife. It received a VERY minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This first generation 72 came in today. Both handles are cracked. The blades are good and all three have decent snap.

I fished it out of the Bay for less than 20 bucks! It’s going to be my next project. I have a set of vintage jigged dark brown bone that I’m thinking about using. I also have some manzanita that I might use. I have some ebony left over from JP’s knife as well.

I just need to make up my mind.

Randy, I'm glad you are the one who got that one. Glad you are going to fix its tattered clothes as well. Congrats.

Good question Jerry. My first thought was to rehandle it when I placed my bid. I considered stabilizing the cracks while waiting for it to be delivered. But once I had it in hand I could see verdigris under the bone so they have to come off.

I hope I can still get some original bones on this old boy. I was going through my old knife parts and thought I hit the jackpot. Found a pair of 72 bone covers. Turns out that they are both pile side covers.

Heading over to the mechanics swap forum to see if I can get a mark side cover later tonight. Time for dinner!

Morning Randy . If you strike out with the guys here let me know. Am heading to our Badger knife show this weekend in Janesville . There are a few guys there that might have some old bone . There’s also a vendor that has some newer bone that looks pretty darn close to old Rogers bone and it’s jigging . Will be getting more of that to have on hand , can send you a couple pieces if interested .
Take care out there .

Posted: **Tue Mar 22, 2022 6:53 pm**

Morning JP! Thanks for your kind offer. I’m very interested in some bone . Even if I don’t strike out in the swap forum I’d still like to have some of that bone you’re talking about. I have a knife or two that are in need of bone covers. Thanks again and have fun at the knife show. We don’t have knife shows around here! Take care!
