BSA Scout Knives

Here's the Remington RS4243 bullet knife made in 1994. It's huge! Most scouts would have to carry it in a sheath or backpack it.

All of the recent ones I've seen have been China, Case, or Victorinox. The Case are made and priced for gifts or collecting, IMO, which leaves Victorinox as the best choice for Scouts to actually carry and use.

Why do you feel this way about the Case? I feel it's perfectly suitable for carry.

"made and priced"

Well, I wouldn't carry it because of the horrible blue handles. The brown bone a few years back looked much better.

And it's far more expensive than something I'd give to a kid to carry at Scout camp.

There's mine from about 15 years later with a couple of chunks of Camillus goodness. The bigun purchased at the 1981 Jamboree. Anyone recall what Camillus called that lock? I want to say they called it the levrlock.

I want to say "Cam-lock". Though levr lock sounds familiar.

Levrlok sounds familiar because it was on the Cudda tactical that Camillus sold. I think camlok sounds right. Really a lot like the axis lock.
