I picked up this "Camillus 72 clone" at a gun show over the weekend. Same size and shape as a 72, but has 2 blades. It is a Queen with the plastic version of the winterbottom handle material. It is not stamped, but is blade etched "Queen Steel #47". Hasn't been used much, but does have a few marks on the blade. Did I get a deal for $6.00?

OLDE CUTLER, that is a VERY G@@D L👁👁KING pocket knife. ::tu:: ::tu::
BUT....apples and oranges. In NO way, shape or form, can your pocket knife
be considered a CAMILLUS 72 "clone" (I no longer use that word or term), a
CAMILLUS 72 "variation", a CAMILLUS 72 "wannabe", or a CAMILLUS 72 "lookalike."
Maybe it would be more at home here:

Sorry, my bad. I forgot in genetics, a clone is an exact copy.

Another "72" variation bites the dust.
Congratulations!

Tom, I thought for sure someone would bid it up but fortunately it didn't happen. Thank you.
