Re: camillus #72
Floyd, is that Bear any good. The one I have isn't worth the powder it would take to blow it to hades. BAD workmanship.

Re: camillus #72
Whoa David, very good pick up.
Jerry, the Bear is certainly not the quality of the Camillus or Schrade or Ulster. If it was the only knife I had it would serve but not the quality of the other ones.

You guys know how much I hate and despise Camillus 72s and the variations. But I have to give credit where credit is due.doglegg wrote:Picked up a couple of 72 clones recently. A Bear boy scout 72 and a Craftsman 9494, also a 72 and 863 just cause the price was right.

Re: camillus #72
This Camillus 72 "short-line" arrived today. My first Camillus 72 without a shield (by design).

Re: camillus #72
Got this one in today. Besides someone’s bad attempt at removing the rust spots, it’s in excellent condition. May have been very lightly used but I believe it has not been sharpened. My 2nd 72 and I’m so happily addicted to them!

It looks to be a second generation bone handles.

Re: camillus #72

Re: camillus #72
If you're a Camillus 72 hound and don't have one of the Yellow-Jaket's with the Yellow-Jaket shield yet, there's one on eBay right now. These don't come up for auction very often so it's worth your consideration.

Re: camillus #72
I saw that one Jerry, fortunately I already have one. But they do seem to be something of a prize. Thanks.

Re: camillus #72
It's a month long auction. Maybe someone will see this who wants one and doesn't have one. That one is as hard to find as the three 1990's bone handle editions.

Re: camillus #72
Jerry I think I have the plane black one on the way. I'll know when it gets here. Also have a hammer brand on the way.

Re: camillus #72
Floyd, in my opinion, that plain black bone edition is the most difficult to acquire.

I've picked up about ten different 72 versions. Based on your assessment, I offered the guy $50 (he had it listed at $65) and he took it. I'd never looked at this knife before...but this one appears unused, with some minor speckling on the blades. Can't say the picture did a whole lot for me...but in hand, this is a very good looking knife, the bee is very crisp and clear.

Re: camillus #72
Doc, that is a really good score. I looked a while before finding one. Excellent.
I fished the elusive plain black bone out of the bay the other day. Pretty much new. I was surprised again that I was the only one bidding. One I had really been looking for so glad to get it.
