All About Pocket Knives

Cuz, I'm envious of that 1st Gen 72. I love those devils. Congratulations. I hope its blades still have their snap.

Hanks Cuz. Yeah, these sure don't come up very often. According to the seller the snap is good. And we know that EBay sellers always are truthful. Right?

This one is a bit more used than my other 1st year 72. So this one MIGHT get packed ever so often.

Very nice Wade, I know you will clean 'em up and put 'em to work! OH

According to USPS tracking these are in Rockford this morning and supposed to be delivered today.

You're welcome and enjoy, Colonel! And thank you for the bid/buy.

You're welcome Me. Ray! I keep a watch on your knives and help out all I can!

Thanks OH. That Boker especially is going to get some use!

Cuz! Wow! Them's some mighty fine looking pieces.

That Coyote is a little tiny thing @ 2-13/16" closed. It was purely an impulse purchase and the jury is definitely still out on it.

Wow, that is an itty bitty knife.

How long is the trapper?

IIRC it's 3-7/8". Same as a Camillus 29.

The first is near and dear to my heart. It was a two knife deal, a Camillus 64 delrin and a first year Camillus 72 in Rogers bone. This is the second one of these 1946 72's I've found, they're my favorites. The first pic was what showed on eBay when the listing came up. The second pic was buried about three pictures in.

The second one was an eBay buy too, from our very own Paladin. It's a fine fine fine old HOK, just my style. It's a red bone Boker USA stockman 4 1/8 inches long. The bone is perfect and there's just enough blade loss that it'll get good and sharp. Thanks Mr. Ray!

.....col., I'm with you on the old "72's", I love 'em and that's a nice one!!..i've been lucky enough to find 3!!.....my favorites are still the old Camillus split backs, though, and I've only been able to find 4 so far!!............... ....................

Yeah, I'd love to have an old Camillus split back too. But I don't think I've ever seen one!

My first, first year 72 came from Pete Cohen. He was at the Cave City gun show and it was the only 72 he had. I asked it what he'd take for it and when he told me I just about ripped my pocket getting my billfold out. It's in better shape than this one.

I'd like to eventually find another one so I can put back one for each boy. They don't seem to come up very often. And since they were only made one year like this me, you, and Jerry might have cornered the market on em!

Well there ya go! The last remaining two. Lol.

It does make ya wonder how many were made in '46 and how many have survived.

Colonel I was lucky to have two .One from a AAPK member the other off ebay .Ebay was a very bad picture and I took a risk and it turn out to be in mint condition.

I have two 1st Gen. and two 2nd Gen. I had three 1st Gen but gave one to Philip (treefarmer).

Cuz, I really like that trapper. That's a nice size.

I really like it too. That's why I got a second one when I discovered Monk had a Beaver Tail he was willing to let go. Many thanks Monkey Man.

A little premature(just won it a few minutes ago) but this one is a bit unusual.I have a bunch of folding deer foot knives but this is the first one I've seen with two blades plus a corkscrew.Can't wait to get this one.

As always, I'm on pins and noodles (sic) waiting for this one. For what ever reason, I just cannot resist these 3-3/8" jacks. Found this Camillus 14 on eBay with fairly bad pictures (see below) and a seller telling me the handles are Delrin. Not even close Country Boy. Let's hope he got the good snap correct although I've yet to see one without good snap. Even then, I didn't quite get it for the song I wanted to sing.

Sellers picture. Cleaned the pictures up some and Voila. She ain't Delrin at all. Come on baby, come to papa.
This is my seventh Camillus 14 and my second one with bone handles. Someone call a doctor! I'm sick!!! Now granted, I've given two of them away (not the bone) but still............

Nice one, Jerry. Great-looking bone!

Nice Jerry, and if you feel so sick, you can send that one to me and that will make you feel better.
If not, it will make ME feel better!

Thanks guys. I sure am looking forward to getting it.

Way to go, Jerry. Nice little jack.

Yes, Jerry, I think that guys "Delrin" is of bovine shinbone extraction. Nice catch!
