Yesterday afternoon, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the latest example to be added to my collection. It is a CAMILLUS 72, SECOND GENERATION, three blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/8" closed, swelled center, a long matchstrike and blade pull, two springs, "whittler" pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp (short line) says, "CAMILLUS (over) NEW YORK (over) USA" The main blade back tang stamp says "72", the pattern number. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade has NO opening snap. The main blade has NO closing snap. The secondary blade does NOT have a half stop. The secondary blade has NO opening snap. The secondary blade has NO closing snap. The third blade does NOT have a half stop. The third blade has NO opening snap. The third blade has NO closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. I did NOT clean it at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
