Give Away - Looking for a Scout

[eisman]

I have an old Boy Scout knife. It's a fixed blade. KaBar. It needs a new home. I'd prefer to give it to a current Boy Scout, preferably with the initials KC, as that's what's carved in the back of the sheath. It's sharp, it's functional, it's served well for more years than I care to think about. But it's ready to move on and help another Scout with some woodcraft.

Post a photo of a currant Scout, and the first one with the right initials wins. If we can't find another KC I'll draw a number. We'll let this run a week (unless KC shows up before then).

A very nice gesture! Being an Eagle Scout I can safely say a current Scout would be thrilled to have it. off to you!

Indeed
Kudos for porch generosity

Pretty awesome GAW. Shame I don’t know anyone whom is a scout. I was a cub scout. But never into boy scouts.

 

[osoverride]

Love this community! That's such a generous offer.

 

[Jack Black]

Nice giveaway, hope you can make a KC a very happy Scout

 

[meako]

Great Giveaway Kevin...yours is in better nick than this one which is my Dads...his Brother in England recently found it and sent it over..

Good luck to all .

Cool idea! I teach a scout who just made Eagle and has his ceremony on March 15th. He’s not a KC though.

Very nice gesture for a very nice knife. Be aware that any Scout you gift it to will be prohibited from wearing or using it at any official BSA function. The BSA (after selling them for years and featuring them in the Fieldbook) outlawed fixed blade knives at their activities and on their properties. That didn’t sit well with this old Eagle Scout and former Scouter. OH

I can ask Tuesday if any in my sons troop has those initials, my son does not ( and he is blessed with knives! )
Here he is getting his derby car cutout, his leader did them for all the troop!

I have an Eagle nephew. Thanks for the chance.

 

[Duvel]

He’s not a KC, and we don’t need another knife, but this thread needs more pics! Here’re some shots of my son from last summer:

A lady friend has A nine-year-old grandson who is a cub scout. Ha just received his first Cub Scout folder and is starting to show an interest in knives, as his dad is a bit of a collector. His initials are not KC, but I have started an inquiry among his fellow scouts. If your knife is still around and if he turns up a pal with the right initials, I’ll let you know.

 

[Prester John]

Maybe "KC" could stand for "Knife Connoisseur"?

 

[waynorth]

My last initial is "C" . . . . . . . . . . . . never mind . . . . . . .
Congrats on the GA!!! Hope you find the lucky youngster!!

 

[Jakeywax31]

Very generous of you. I will ask around. There has to be a scout with those initials that needs a great knife.

 

[abbydaddy]

Unfortunately I don't know any active scouts (much less with the initials KC) right now, but I will keep an ear out, and tune into this GAW. I like the idea a lot. I took my kids to a sportsman show here in town about a week ago, and they were very interested in the Scouts. I suspect that in future years there will be some scouts running around my house

I know a gent that is a scout leader. He happens to the preacher at my church. He was telling me that they couldn’t use fixed blades anymore. He thinks it’s a crock, So do I.

 

[Jack Black]

I hope it's OK to give this a bump

 

[Jody744]

Maybe "KC" could stand for "Knife Connoisseur"?

Or Kabar Cutlery???
