This afternoon I added this pocket knife to my CAMILLUS 72 variation/clone collection. It is another SCHRADE 863, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. I cleaned it up, took some pictures and here it is.

A very nice looking 863 Skip and another fine addition to the 72 Clones family!!

Fished this McGrew Hillbilly Classic out of the bay recently. It is NOS complete with paperwork. After getting it and looking at the handles I am wondering if this might also be one of the black bone knives. Remington, Ole Smoky, Harley Davidson and Camillus 72 I am aware of but after looking this one over and comparing it to those the handles sure look the same. What do you think. Thanks for looking.

This foreign invader arrived this afternoon and became the latest addition to my CAMILLUS 72 variation/clone collection. It is another unbranded, 3 blades, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. I can not see or detect ANY evidence of any previous markings, etches or tang stamps. It was probably made in Pakistan or China. To me, as long as a pocket knife meets the "72" variations/clones criteria, the country of origin does not matter. But again, ONLY in the "72" pattern. It is very well made, it is in EXCELLENT condition and it did not require any special attention. What first attracted me to this pocket knife and for some inexplicable reason, is that I really like the "camouflage" handles. I took some pictures and here it is.

Nice find SKip!! Another clone we didn't know about.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Nice.....

Thank you Smitty.
Like Floyd said, "There never seems to be an end to the copies....thankfully."

This "72" clone came in the mail today. It was sent to me by Reverand as a Bomb! Thanks Reverand! I'm sure its a Camillus 72 but the shield is a McGrew. It has a Western tang stamp instead of the McGrew stamp. The pile side is marked stainless W742. Awesome I'm going to put and edge on it and let it ride in my pocket for awhile! Thanks again Reverand!

[doglegg]

Happy for you goldpan. Direct hit Reverend.

[New_Windsor_NY]

This.....

A VERY nice "72" variation/clone.

[Ripster]

Goldpan. You’re coming back full steam now
Reverend. Well done.

Was recently able to purchase this fabulous Schrade 863 KON-KAV blade etched with bone handles. I had been on the hunt for sometime. This one is immaculate. What a great friend to sell it to me. If I sound excited about it I am. Thanks for looking.

Congrats Floyd! Awesome find!

[jerryd6818]

Congratulations. Those are hard to find. Floyd, it took a small forever to find an 863 KON-KAV. When I finally found one, which I thought was in excellent condition, it wasn't as pristine as yours. That right there is a beauty!!

[doglegg]

Tom, thanks for your kind words. They are appreciated.

Jerry, I agree with you as their being hard to find. I am thrilled with this one. Thank you. Now to find that BSA with the bone handle, no shield but having a blade etch.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Was.....

Another one to scratch off the hard to find list, Floyd.
She's a BEAUTY!

[doglegg]

Thanks Skip.
