The Camillus on the tang stamp of the main clip blade is worn, but you can see it and the short line is distinguishable. Bone handles still have good color. Proud to have another addition to my Gen 1 72's.

If you only buy just a few more, and if one of those is that really cool one you've always been looking for, the itch goes away.
Until you see another cool knife.
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

Glad I pumped the brakes on this one, about half of what they had been selling for.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

One of your better hauls lately
