I want your opinions on my "old" knives...

[inheritthefire]

So, this is my first time posting a thread here in the traditional forum, as up until now I haven't really gotten around to taking any pictures of my "old" knives.

I guess I'll just jump into this. I have two Boy Scout knives that were given to me by my mom when I was little... If I recall correctly, one (or both?) of them belonged to one (or both?) of my grandfathers, neither of whom is around to confirm or deny this for me anymore...
I also have a "Kamp King" that was found in an antique shop in Wisconsin while out with my mom and grandma.

As they say, this thread is useless without pictures... I apologize in advance for the poor quality - I don't own an actual camera.

I know these knives aren't in the best shape anymore... They're rusty (to be cleaned up, when I have free time), the back spring on one of the knives does nothing at this point, and the others are very weak, but I wouldn't trade those BSA knives for anything.

I guess I just wanted to share. Thanks for looking.

Here's what drew me into the traditional forum... I can't resist sharing.

I like the Ulster Scouts. The Imperial Kamp Kings is not quite as good a knife in my opinion, and I have a couple of those laying around too. I like Scout patterns.

Those knives were used, and carried. It's common to see them without the bail for pocket carry. I did the same way back when in Scouts myself. Good honest knives.

As to what brought you, well, I just got my "Viper" in the mail yesterday. Nice knife, I may need another.
