All About Pocket Knives

God knows I'm not against modifying a knife, even a Camillus #72, BUT at least do a decent job of it.

A good example of what not to do! Jerry, that could be a “special” piece in your collection - hopefully one of a kind! OH

No, that's alright Colonel, you go ahead and get it. I'll just muddle on without it but thanks for your thoughtfulness.

Edit: You're right. It's the poster child, not so much for "what not" to do but "how not" to do it. Actually, if it were done well, I'd be interested.

Good golly Miss molly.....
Now that is a real SPECIAL knife..... Anyone should be proud to own that one.....

I’ve got a project ongoing.

Wow! Two broken blades and two tipped blades - no wonder this person wanted so many blades if that is the way he treated a knife.

Now I know what to do with all those broken blades. Vintage has become such a meaningless word.

HA! ... No wonder it's for sale.

Come on Cuz! That’s a whole nuther category for your collection!

.............. .................

Oh my that is a mess!

I'm going to call it the "Swiss Army #72" Carpenter's and Whittlers knife.

I wonder if the tips of the blades were broke off to make it TSA compliant?

That is nothin' but a mess!

Maybe they have a job that involves removing a lot of screws. I like the prominent brass pins through the bolsters
