Anybody make a Decent Camp knife?

[Arkhavain]

I currently have a very good Wenger Tradesman that suits me well. Yet, I would like to get a more traditional version of the knife, something like the Case camper knife (something that has two blades, the flat-head screwdriver with bottle opener, a philips-head screwdriver, and perhaps small pliers). I have a Victorinox version of a leatherman, but those are too big and unweildy for normal use. I like the Wenger because it fits in my pocket nicely. I know Camillus makes a Boy Scout knife that comes close. Anybody know of a maker that fits the bill?

(Not looking for anything that would be confused as "tactical")

Getting a philips head and small pliers in a "traditional" pattern may be difficult, some Victorinox Swiss Army knives have pliers in the smaller non-lockblade patterns.

No names jump out at me of more traditional patterns with those tools.

Or you could do what I am doing, sending a Victorinox SAK to have Elk scales custom put on it.

Check out the AG Russell Scout Knife. No phillips driver or pliars, but you could easily compliment the knife with a Leatherman Squirt P4 on your keychain.

Camillus has a few. (don't know what the steel is though)
Their 5-bladed knives appear to have a phil head.

BSA knife - you could sand off the blade etch if you aren't a scout

beyond that, the AG russel looks great with it's superior steel, but no phil.

P.S. You will not get a small pliers in anything other than a SAK in a traditional SJ style.

Case makes a camp knife that does have the pliers, ala Victorinox style. Yet, they do not have the philips head.

Can you give us a link or the name of this? Interesting.

Yes, that is interesting. So, I googled a bit, and found this (maybe this is what was meant) :

I think Planterz has a fine recommendation. I have the P4 and it is every bit as good a pliers as a SAK pliers, and it will do a decent job on phil heads as well.

Planterz, do you own one of these AG scout knives? I've been looking at it for a long time, but am unsure if it is really worth 100.00 just for the 154CM blade and the fancy scales.

Yeah, that's the Case I'm talking about. I just find I use philips too often to not carry.
