Thank you JP.
Have a good weekend yourself.
A very nice looking 863 Skip and another fine addition to the 72 Clones family!!New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 10:12 pm 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.

Nice finds Floyd & Skip! Congrats gentlemen!doglegg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 3:03 pm 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.

Thank you Smitty.
Thank you Tom.
That's pretty cool, Skip. Pretty good looking quality for a "no name"..New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 12:00 am 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.
