Re: Camillus 72 Clones
That's my worry. I think I've fallen into another rabbit hole. Congratulations on your nice find!

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
The Postman dropped this one off today. Super pleased with it. A McGrew Knife Company Inc. pattern 72 clone made by Camillus. It is like new, with no use, and came in the original box with sleeve, insert and warranty paper. It has the underlined McGrew over Arkansas U.S.A. tang stamp, Delrin handles and federal shield with underlined "M". This is my third McGrew 72 clone, and my 2nd like new with the original box and papers. Here are the photos.

Very, very sweet Papa Bones. There is a McGrew with black bone handle. Keep a look out.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Thanks Floyd. Yes Sir saw the ones you and JP had posted, but I've not been able to come across one yet. I do have the yellow delrin version, but keeping my eyes open for a black handle. There's always one more to look out for.

A beautiful pocket knife.
The original box and inserts.
Keep the streak alive, Smitty.

Hey JP, appreciate the kind words. We have an old saying down here. "Even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally." Take care up there my friend!!

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
This Stanley came in the mail today. I paid $25.00 for it. What a bargain, still in the blister pack too. I have another one without packaging that I paid a lot more for. All in all I’m very happy!
Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Randy, a steal on that one.

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
That is a screaming deal! Wish I could find such deals...does the seller have any more of them?

Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Found this Imperial scout whittler floating in the Bay with a buy it now for $19 so I did.
Re: Camillus 72 Clones
That’s a rare find Floyd! Mighty hard to come by. A real steal at that price!
Re: Camillus 72 Clones
Thanks Randy, I was very glad to get it.
