Camillus 72 Clones
Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Good one Smitty. An 863 is my only 72 variation, and it gets a lot of carry time !

Thanks Floyd
Appreciate it David
Thank you JP
Thank You Chris. I really like the 72 patterns also. I have extras for EDC in Schrade, Camillus, Craftsman, and Ulster that get regular carry rotations.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
I picked this one up today at a Collectibles Shop that opened up this month in the small town north of me. It is a Double line Camillus 1047 Scout Whittler. Great shape, no cracks in the handle, which some tend to have at the bottom edge of the round shields. Blades have great snap and doesn't appear to have been put on a stone since from the factory shapening. Blades seem to have the original luster, havent been used, no wobble, with just some tiny scratches. The only thing I've done is oil the joints and wipe it down. Here are some pics.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Received another addition to my 72 Clone family as well as my Craftsman group. A Craftsman 9494 swell center Carpenters Whittler. It has the reddish handles with the oval Craftsman Shield without the crown stamped around the word Craftsman. According to what I can find in older Sears Catalogs, this shield was used from around 1956 up to 1962 or 63 when the shield started having the Crown around the word Craftsman. Looking at the design of the clip blade, the plain smaller nail nick, and the size of the shield, I believe this knife was made by Ulster. The blades have some of the original luster, no wobble, have great snap, but do have scratches, spots and some pitting especially on the secondary small clip blade. It did need some cleaning as it had some kind of sealant or glue on the handles, stains and some kind of residue on the blades and blade well. I gave it the usual warm mineral oil bath, flushed, washed in hot water with some dw detergent, flushed again. No.2 pencil, eraser & rubbed down the blades with X fine steel wool. I was able to use tooth picks to get the gunk out of the handle jigging. It was rubbery. This is my second 9494 with this style handles, but the first with the style shield. Here are some before and after photos. She's by no means perfect, but I think looks good and now is smooth operating with great snap.
