Well I don’t see near as many as Skip seems to find, but while in vacation in the Smokey Mountains back in October I found these two gems in an antique store. I put the schrade up and I’m toting the Boy Scout one to replace my old beloved edc that went missing a few months ago.

I’d be pleased as punch to tote that one. I love that shield and those dark brown handles.

Wade, those are two ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS pocket knives. ::tu:: ::tu::
The CAMILLUS is a "1047", not a "72"
The SCHRADE is an "863"

Yes sir. I know it isn’t the correct nomenclature. “But a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet”. To steal from the Bard.

Wade, when you get a chance, would you PLEASE
post both of those BEAUTIES here also:
viewtopic.php?t=62956

It is the "Camillus 72 Clone" topic or thread. I made a mistake when I used the word "clone"
in the title of the topic or thread. PLEASE substitute the word "clone" with "variation",
"wannabe", or "lookalike", and then the topic or thread will make a lot more sense. ::tu::

Nice one, DLegg! It may never find it's way out of your pocket if it gets in there! A 72 is never far from my grasp!
