Thanks for looking! ::handshake:: :D

Last night I obtained this knife for best offer. It is a Keen Kutter (K30 per seller), 3 blade, "whittler" pocket knife. One of the more difficult CAMILLUS 72 variations/clones to obtain. I'll check it out when I receive it. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s). Here it is in it's present condition.

This morning, I became the new owner of this knife. It is another, my second, Keen Kutter K30, 3 blade, "whittler" pocket knife. My first one is posted right above this post. One of the more difficult CAMILLUS 72 variations/clones to obtain. It appears to be in pretty good condition. I'll check it out when I receive it. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s). Here it is.

Thank you Ryan. ::tu:: The Keen Kutter Knives were, so far, the hardest CAMILLUS 72 variation to find. Remember to post your knife in the "CAMILLUS 72 Clone" thread also. ::tu::
