This can't be right - can it?
Pretty sure out in my junk box I have a knife with a shield like this that was made in China. Then look closer and the handles are glued on and have no pins holding them on.

From the looks of the jigging, it looks like the entire handle was taken off a cheap knife. And maybe the small clip point blade as well.

Looks like someone purchased a set of tang stamp and was looking for a cheap knife to try them on.

Re: This can't be right - can it?
Well, it does have an interesting bird on the shield. Maybe that is a "Cattaraugus bird"?

Those show up pretty regularly. I think the consences is far east. I have one like that. I have seen them with bright yellow handles. That is the first one I have seen with a tang stamp

One of the “Camillus 72 Clone” junkies will buy it whether it’s junk or not.

Agree, and if we knew the length would help ,but didn’t see it mentioned.
This 72 junkie may go after if price stays low.

I found mine. It is 3 1/2" long. I feel certain this is from China but it isn't marked at all. Ripster if you collect this pattern don't waste your money on the ebay knife. I have no interest in keeping this and will be glad to see it go to a good home. We can work a trade out on something I'm sure just PM me.

Re: This can't be right - can it?
Was more curious than anything . But Skip verified the shield and several other things in a post elsewhere. It was a conversation piece type thing.just bob wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 12:08 am I found mine. It is 3 1/2" long. I feel certain this is from China but it isn't marked at all.

Thank you for your offer,was hoping that I didn’t step on any toes going after a beater. You do see a lot of wannabe 72s etc, etc, .We all learn a little ,laugh a little, sometimes we even score a dandy .
Do appreciate the offer , take care

Re: This can't be right - can it?
I have a yellow one. Don't remember where I got it. I think it was a gift. No marks on it whatsoever except for the bird on the shield Very crudely made but the main snaps like Oprah on a pork chop.

I gave that one to you Jerry. And as you can tell I always only give the best and most expensive gifts. And it appears that you were properly impressed with such generosity.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 3:36 pm I have a yellow one. Don't remember where I got it. I think it was a gift.

But it'll be my first with "CATTARAUGUS" tang stamped blades.
I can't wait to get this one!

I checked and I evidently DO NOT have a CAMILLUS 72 variation/clone
pocket knife with the "bird" shield. This will be my first one.
