Re: camillus #72
I found this by accident and just bought this Camillus 72. I'm taking a break from purchasing 72s to pursue the variations and some other types of knives that I collect. But this one jumped out and screamed BUY ME, so I did. It ISN'T a first generation, it's a long line 72. Except for some cosmetic issues on the blades, this knife appears to be in fantastic condition. I'll clean it up when I receive it and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures, the two best of the group, are the seller's.

Re: camillus #72
Thank you Floyd. Not bad for $12, not including shipping & government punishment fee.

Re: camillus #72
Considering those Brownstag® handles, it's from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. Looks to be in very good condition for it's age. For the price, it's a great acquisition.

I received this Camillus 72 yesterday. I cleaned the blades a little. The "before" pictures are the last two pictures on the previous page. These pictures are mine.

Re: camillus #72
Sweet Skip, like potato chips, bet you can't eat just one. Can't pass up that price.
I've got a clone expected to be delivered today hopefully. But I am behind on picture taking already.

Re: camillus #72
I tried to ignore it, but this powerful, invisible force kept bringing me back to the auction.
I want to see your new clone when you get a chance, but in the "variation" topic.

Re: camillus #72
Wouldn't it be cool if somehow the 2020 AAPK Club knife was a Camillus 72?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I would ask for two. I'm surprised that RR hasn't made one. Wish GEC would. Happy thought. Thanks.

Spit in one hand and wish in the other. See which one gets full the quickest. That's what my mother used to tell me.

My latest Camillus 72 acquisition. I gave the blades a gentle cleaning. The before pictures are on the previous page. These pictures are mine.

Re: camillus #72
Saw this one listed on ebay the other day at a $16.00 but it now price. I PM Jerry if he thought it was indeed a 72 clone. He texted back that it was an early contract knife for Sears, even sent an attachment from the Kastor list of contract knives by Camillus. So although it doesn't say Camillus or 72 it is not a clone as Camillus did make it. I appreciate his expertise. So for me a real find. A first model Sears made by Camillus. It has been well used but so have I. Thanks for looking and thank you Jerry for the initial bug for 72's and for your expertise and time in answering my questions.
