https://www.ebay.com/itm/Camillus-72-Wh ... SwIGJaQHCF Hey Jerryd, is this one of those 'frankencamillus' from the end of their run? A little high I think.

Yes, it is.
It's about 6X too high and the description is way out in left field. It is a Camillus 72 Whittlers Knife but it's not from the 1990's, it's from the mid 2000s. It's not a Leather Craftsman Tool and it's not really all that Rare. But what do you expect? Ditwtexas is the seller.

There was talk of this seller in the past. I think , if I can remember, someone looked into his non_profit group. I don't think anyone thought highly of knives or authenticity. From what I have heard, I wouldn't buy anything from him.

At those prices if they were as described I still wouldn't buy.

I hope to find one of those mismatched 72's one day but a little more reasonable. Thanks.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I see this sellers highly discounted auctions. Everything is 20% off of ridiculous.
As the old saying goes, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS.

Grant, I've never seen an LR6 built like that.
These are my two.
This one has a Stanley SL6 main blade with Stanley ground off and Camillus etched on.
And I have a couple that were never finished.

I beg your pardon. Where did that come from?

Now we are back at the start of this topic.
If you go fishing with the right bait you will catch one.

Gott'cha. Sometimes I'm a little dense. Some would say more than sometimes.
