Re: camillus #72
Right you are Tommy. But among the short line 72's the very oldest have the little coping blade on the bottom. I think I said that right. Below are a couple of pics for comparison.
Re: camillus #72
Beautiful knives Floyd! I Love em! Those 72's are really very cool knives & they would make perfect EDC's but I can't seem to find any over here. I'll keep searching till I find one.
But no more buying knives for me this month. I'm way over my limit already.

Re: camillus #72
Thanks Tom. Yes the 72 is an excellent edc. I've sure enjoyed and am enjoying rooting around to find the variations.
Re: camillus #72
Stupid question. Does the term "short line" refer to the overall length of the knife or to a "short line" on the tang stamp? Sorry. Maybe I have asked this before but I can't remember.

Re: camillus #72
Tommy there is an older one but very rare. I didn't know they existed until I ran across one on ebay. I checked with Jerry and Vit and they confirmed that there is also a no line tang stamp. Earliest used after the war before they went to the short line. They are very scarce, I'm glad to have stumbled across this one.
Re: camillus #72
Not a stupid question Tom. It refers to the short line on the tang stamp. I think there are examples of all but the no line in the Research forum at the top of the page.

Re: camillus #72
The "modern" (post 1945) Camillus tang stamp had 5 variations.
A short line under "Camillus"
No line under "Camillus"
A long line under "Camillus" that ran the entire length of the word "Camillus" (most common)
(per Vit I forgot this one) A long line under "Camillus" that ran the entire length of the word "Camillus" and "Camillus" is italicized.
A double line, one on top of Camillus and the other beneath Camillus.
A short line under "Camillus"
No line under "Camillus"
A long line under "Camillus" that ran the entire length of the word "Camillus" (most common)

Re: camillus #72
Extremely impressive collecting Floyd! I really enjoy these types of pictures with similar knives lined up in rows! Brings out the kid in me. Feel like a kid in a toy store. Only one thing has stayed the same, leaving empty handed.
Thanks for the pictures though!

Re: camillus #72
Tom, seems like at first if it was a knife I wanted it. But as in most things you develope a preference after awhile and get a little more focused. I think, at least for me, that is more satisfying. I've noticed with you that pen knives are showing up more in your post. Just keep enjoying what you have. Thanks.
Re: camillus #72
Good observing Floyd and yes, as U2 said..., "I still haven't found, what I'm looking for."https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-5YC_oHjEdoglegg wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 1:58 pm Tom, seems like at first if it was a knife I wanted it.

But, I'm getting closer. I know several brands I prefer & a few that I don't. I also know that I like smaller to mid sized knives. I like whittlers, stockmans, barlows, trappers & pens. I like bone & stag. I mean I like all knives of course, but I am slowly learning what I want to buy & own that will satisfy my beast the most. I really like those 72's and 72 clones, and I really like case knives as well. The first ones I can't get here, the second ones I can't afford here. So, I just buy stuff. LOL!
