That's one FINE L👁👁KING "72", Floyd.

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.
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:

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.

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!

Thought I would post these here. Over the last year and a half, I've added to my Bone Handle Camillus 72's. All the ones in the right column have the pen blade next to the main blade with the coping blade on the left bolster. The two on the left column are the more traditional 72 pattern with the coping blade next to the main blade. All bone handles with short line Camillus tang stamp.

Sorry the photo is kind of dark, cloudy here, taken indoors with phone.

VERY nice additions, Smitty.

Nice pic of your 72 s dressed up in bone! And both first and second gens to boot .

Thanks J.P. Yep, gotta love that pattern.

I picked this one up today. Another addition to my group. A Camillus 72, Short line, bone handle Gen 1. The blades do have wear, staining and spiders, but are tight with good snap and no wobble. The Camillus is worn on the main clip blade, but the rest of the tang stamp with the short line is distinguishable. The bone handles are tight and still have good color and has the federal style shield. I've just oiled the blades, but plan on giving her a warm mineral oil bath and cleaning up the blade wells. This makes my fourth gen 1.

Smitty, a real FINE acquisition AND
addition to your "72" family.
