Camillus 72 Clones

[jerryd6818]

The SL-6 was made by Camillus of course. I have a Camillus from the final year(s) that has SL-6 stamped on the back of the main blade. You'll note it also has swapped secondary blades.

Jerry, I just posted pictures of the tang stamps on the previous page. Now it looks like I have to find the variation that you have posted. Oh such sweet torture.

Probably. It was posted on here several years ago when I first got it.

........I remember sending somebody one, maybe it was somebody else????........... .......................

Probably because I got that one off eBay. Note the secondary clip blade is also much smaller than the one they used for years.

[carrmillus]

..the clip also looks smaller than the older clip blades????................. .....................

It looks smaller because it is smaller unless you're talking about the main and then it is not smaller.

Jerry I have one exactly like that one. I've posted the pic's before but here are fresh ones.

That's because you're a geezer.

You're a geezer, I'm a geezer, he's a geezer, they're a geezer, wouldn't you like to be a geezer too?

That's a beauty Floyd! I understand the size difference in the blades. Another variation I have to search for. I love it!

[jerryd6818]

Skip, there are two variations on that one.

Of course there are! Why should this be easy?! But if it was easy, it wouldn't be fun.
Thank you Jerry.

[jerryd6818]

Dude. I'm not trying to make it difficult for you. I'm just trying to keep you informed.

I feel certain there are variations that I don't have and some that I've not seen.

Today I add this STANLEY SL6, 440 S.S., 3 blade, swelled center, whittler pocket knife, to the Camillus 72 variations topic.
It didn't need any cleaning. Click on the picture(s) to ENLARGE.

Got a couple of clones over the last month. A Bear boy scout and a Craftsman 9494.

Today I added this knife to the family, another Camillus 72 variation by Remington, but NOT one of the three variations that I knew about. This is a Remington "R14" with the circle Remington shield and the circle REMINGTON, MADE IN USA tang stamp. However, there is NO pattern # (R14) stamped anywhere (it wasn't ground off, sanded off or removed in any other manner). So, to me at least, this is a fourth variation in regards to Remington. Yes, it has the correct 3 blade, swelled center configuration and it is 3 5/8" long, closed. My other two Remingtons are on page 3. The first "picture" here, is of the description of the three variations that I knew of. The last four pictures are of the knife. It didn't require any cleaning at all. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

I bought this knife earlier this evening. Another Ulster 63, yet another variation of the Camillus 72 and a variation of the Ulster 63 itself. This is my fourth Ulster 63, but my first with the pattern # stamped on the other side of the main tang stamp. When I receive it, I'll clean it if needed. I will post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Skip, you're like a run away freight train. Go git'im ole son.

Jerry, this is soooooooooooo addictive. I can't get enough of it. In all my years of collecting various items, I have never been so gung-ho about obtaining any particular item or items. I'm having a blast AND gaining knowledge, which is a good thing.

I just purchased this Whitetail Cutlery, 3 blade, swelled center pocket knife. Yes, it is another Camillus 72 variation. The ad did not specify the closed length. I'll measure it when I get it. I'm 99.99% sure it will be 3 5/8" closed. Also when I receive it, if it needs any cleaning, I'll take care of it. MY pictures of it will be posted in the proper place(s). These pictures are the seller's.

I have one that came with a little sheet of paper that says Whitetail Cutlery. It has zero markings on the knife. Seems to be fairly well built. If I remember correctly, it was a gift from T.J. Murphy. I never marked it because I expected him to live at least as long as me.
