Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Here is my latest Short-Line... ::paranoid:: It is in good EDC shape with tight blades and will go into the "the 5th pocket" for carry and use after a cleaning and patented "Smitty warm mineral oil soak" ... however I think I blew it by going with this #67 :oops: and not getting a #72 :oops: at least the guys on #72 thread seem to think so... :oops: ... ::paranoid:: I apologize in advance for my foolhardy and reckless behavior... :oops:

Somehow I missed that post yesterday. A very nice 72, and the rock it's sitting on looks pretty cool, too!

Thanks, ::handshake:: I really like carrying the 72, looks like I will have to get a few more ... ::dang:: ::facepalm:: .... The blue in the rock should be copper that has become oxidized copper. Sometimes you can find some pretty big chunks around here ::nod::

Fished this little short line 12 out of the bay recently. It is a first year short line as it has the bone handles. Some blade wear but pretty pleased with it. Thanks for looking. ::handshake::
