Nice find Mike

congrats on your first 72! Likely won't be your last, it's an addiction you see

This one found a new home in Wisconsin today. My first 72, and I must say I like it alot! Very classy looking knife with a really unique 3 blade set up. I appreciate there not being half stops, all the blades open nice and smooth.
Ohhhhh Boy , your in trouble now! If you like one there will be more , kind of like that old Chip commercial. You can’t eat ( have) just one ! Welcome to the madness .

This is what I have been hearing for years! Now that I have one in hand I am starting to understand the hype. Will drop it in my pocket and put it to work.

Mike, from what I’ve seen, you and I have similar tastes in knives. We’re both fans it seems of CASE 6375s, etc…
Just looking at a CASE 6375 and a Camillus 72, you’d think the two are so far apart that they wouldn’t appeal to the same person. But….
There’s just something about the 72, I can’t explain it, but the size, frame shape, blade layout, etc… it just works. A CASE 6375 and a Camillus 72 are probably my two most carried knives.

Yep, Wade, I definitely love my Case 75 ...which is quite different from the Camillus 72. I carried it today at work, and gotta say I really like the small clip blade on the end. Don't think I have another knife with a blade like that. Pretty useful. Did not really find a use for the little coping blade yet, bit I am sure it will come in handy at some point.

I love the small Clío for most things. Especially delicate cuts. Of course the coping blade really shines when making god flat or square cuts in wood. Like I said, I prefer the Camillus 72 in the wood shop better than about any other pocket knife.

They're like popcorn. Once you start, you don't want to stop. That's a fine start to the addiction.

Ol Cuz there started me on my addiction. There's not much about the specs of the 72 that would match any of my likes. but the moment I got one, it was love at first sight.
