You are just fine doing what you're doing. Carry on. ::tu:: I have been to the city but have not seen the elephant so I'm not sure it ever stops.

I can't ask anyone to do something I can't do and there's no way on God's green earth I could "bust out 1" these days, much less 20. ::facepalm::

Yesterday afternoon, my visit to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also becomes the latest example to be added to my collection. It is a CAMILLUS 72 (short line), FIRST GENERATION, three blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/8" closed, swelled center, a long matchstrike and blade pull, "whittler" pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "CAMILLUS (over) NEW YORK (over) USA" The main blade back tang stamp says "72", the pattern number. I now have a total of 22, short-line tang stamps, CAMILLUS 72 pocket knives. I have 13, FIRST GENERATION, CAMILLUS 72 pocket knives and I have 9, SECOND GENERATION, CAMILLUS 72 pocket knives. The main blade has no half stop, has a weak opening snap and no closing snap. The secondary blade has no half stop and has no opening or closing snap. The third blade has a good half stop, also a good opening snap and a good closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD+ condition. I gave the blades a bit of a cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
