Camillus #72
A previous owner had used this knife quite awhile with a loose primary blade. It led to the tang on the blade getting a hangnail. Fortunately, it was within range of being able to clean it up and maintain a respectable amount of snap. The original rough black comp handles had shrunk to the point of pulling their pins loose from the liners. Here it is, all fixed up and ready for a final sharpening. Nothing like a set of Honduran Rosewood handles to put a little color back in a knifes cheeks.
