Camillus 72-Ole Smoky-Soon To Be Mine

[New_Windsor_NY]

Seller accepted my offer of $35.05 + $4.95 shipping = $40.00
I think I did good. The pictures are the original seller's pictures.
I will update the pics when the knife arrives.

Excellent buy NW! Those have black bone handles. You got a bargain.

Take out the words "I think" and you would be in all rights of saying, "I did good."
Congrats!!

Great score N W NY, bone handles on a 72 just excellent. And that one looks brand new.

Thank you guys! I am a little confused about the spelling of "Smoky", so I looked it up. See below.

"Smokey vs. Smoky
Ginger software corrected 98% of people who misused ‘Smokey vs. Smoky’
Smokey is a proper noun and first name, whereas smoky is an adjective referring to an object being filled with or smelling of smoke."

Going by that definition, then I think the wrong word was used on the blade.

Since that is a factory special made for Smoky Mountain Knife Works, sometime in the '90s, the word is spelled correctly. One down, two to go (unless you already have the other two). Congratulations. That's a good buy.

But the "name" of the knife is Ole Smoky, no matter what the name of the company it was made for. No, I don't have the other two. But gee, I get to search for more knives. That's a good thing.

Me and I thanks you very much.

AND

•Smoky is an adjective
•Smokey is the name of a well-known advertising mascot for the U.S. Forest Service.



These are what you're looking for. The second one is the most difficult one to find.

You gave me one also Tommy. You must have had more than you thought.

I will look for those two AND try to find the other 3 "Ole Smoky" knives. The small jack, the 2-blade Congress Senator and the 4-blade Congress with one blade serrated.

Dang dude. You are a glutton for punishment.

Oops I made a boo-boo. Tommy it was the Ducks on the Water that you gave me.

If it’s made by Camillus, you got a terrific buy.

..jerry, also the scroll work surrounding the name looks like the "smoky mountian's"!!...... .................

Thanks for pointing that out Tommy. I had never paid any attention to it.
