Camillus N.Y. #72 Swell Center Carpenter's & Whittler's Knife
Extremely Rare in this condition - Camillus N.Y. #72 Carpenter's & Whittler's knife's golden years were from 1946 to 1950. This Camillus #72 was made from 1947 to 1950 -- the 1946 #72 model having a different blade configuration -- with a quality and craftsmanship that was unmatched by any other period before or after the existence of Camillus N.Y. Cutlery, from 1906 to 2006. The quality of materials used and precision in craftsmanship for each pocket knife made during this period produced the very best quality knives by Camillus.
The blades of this period are known for their Gator Like Strong open and close snaps that have held up through the years, to this day. They are also known for never going soft or becoming loose, as in the blades developing a side to side wobble.
