The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

I have some others but this one caught my eye. It was listed over on Facebook Camillus Knife Collectors. I contacted the seller and we came to a price and it lives at my house now. 2nd generation short line with bone handles in what I think is pretty good shape. Thanks for looking.

Hey JP I missed out on the white handled 1047. I came back to this thread a little too late...
I found an unused display case in my closet today and gave most of my 72 collection a new home.

Must be my lucky day. I found this short line 72 floating in the Bay an retrieved it for 30 bucks!

Very nice Display Case ,and nice collection
Like to use the glass covered case as well,been getting them on Sale at Hobby Lobby .
That Bone short line is a dandy and 30 bucks well Done
It also has no shield and don’t see many that way. I just have 2 with no shield . We have a thread here somewhere about the No Shield 72 s . Don’t think there’s been but a handful of them posted. If you would check it out and post it there would appreciate it. Do feel they’re getting hard to find without the typical Camillus Shield . Thanks for sharing
Take Care over there.

Love your display JP. Lots of good blades there! I need to find another case. Most of whats left of my collection is in boxes in the closet. One of these days. This Rigid came in the mail today, with box.
I'm still waiting for the short line 72 to get here......

This short line with bone handles and no shield just got in. I love those bones! No 72 on the pile side master blade. Is this an early 1047?
Great Bones Great Piece
Man that bone is just something on this one. Done good. You been on a roll lately over there.
Another bone one without shield! Another plus in my book as they are not as common as with shield from what have seen . Thanks for posting that one Randy it’s a beautiful piece.
I don’t have anything new to show, but here’s my edc doing what it was intended to do, work in the wood shop. I had to cut a piece of double sided tape for a shim. (That’s not blood btw, that’s the label on the tape lol).

Thanks Ripster! But I must apologize for the confusion. The last knife is the same one I posted before. Earlier pics were the sellers that last five I took after it came in the mail. Although I would certainly love to have a second one! Now back to the hunt for more short line 72s. Hmmm I think I need a black one...

Great knife any case . Your pics are much better by the way .
There’s a few 72 black long lines here on the forum still for sale,think Steve P.has some ? Will look might have a extra short line somewhere that’s the black composite that looks like bone but isn’t . Is that the one you’re looking for? Or the black bone ,which isn’t easy to find in the 72 I don’t believe Take care over there .

I have a long line one coming from Steve. But a short line in either black handle would awesome to have!
I’m going to have to go back and look at some of my older posts to see what I used to have. I had a bunch of 72s. But had to sell them. I don’t remember if there were any black ones though.

Hey good to hear you have a long line coming from Steve . They’re just as he describes and several of us here have one from him .
Will get down in the shop and look around ,do believe the two that have are in pretty decent shape and don’t have much in them . Will get down and send you a pic or 2 and go from there .

Here’s a couple pics . It’s a short line ,no shield , that came here with a little rust in the pins ,and the scratches on the main but all blades are tight and are snapping back the more it’s oiled and used . The covers are the dark black ,so dark can’t tell if bone or composite and the more that I look am not sure . Don’t want to scratch the black on the edge and ruin the finish . Have looked at it under magnifying glass and still not sure . All that said if interested let’s talk further thru pm and go from there . Maybe a trade for one of your pieces you’ve worked on if your interested ?

It's synthetic black. The only black bone made were the three that were made in the early 90's.
