Boy scout knives!

Not a Scout pattern but a Scout knife:



I have to snap of a picture of my Imperial that I somehow didn't lose from tiger -> eagle. Can opener on that thing works great.
 
Re-shot my Boker Classic 940 (Camp/Scout). These are around but you don't see them much....

That's pretty cool. Never seen the main blade on the bail end though. Stainless? Standard three implements?

Yes, it's stainless (Inox) and I stepped out and shot one with it open (should have done that the first time). Pen blade instead of awl.

From Bernard:

In 1899, in response to increasing tariffs on imported cutlery, H. Boker & Co., which was still controlled by Hermann Boeker's descendants, began to manufacture pocketknives in Newark. Their factory was called the VALLEY FORGE CUTLERY COMPANY. John Goins reports that that Valley Forge was an already existing firm, founded in 1892, which Boker purchased.

In the Valley Forge factory, Boker produced both Boker and Valley Forge knives and hand tools. The firm also did a great deal of private brand contracting. One of its biggest customers was the Newark advertising specialty firm WHITEHEAD & HOAG. Their knives were tang-stamped THE W. & H. CO.).

In 1921 Boker sold the Valley Forge plant and moved its U. S. operations to a new complex of buildings in Maplewood, New Jersey. Boker continued to use the Valley Forge trademark on some knives until about 1950. Afterwards, all knives made in the Maplewood plant were marked BOKER/ U.S.A.
