In search of a liner lock scout/camp knife?

Hi, I have this Chinese Official Cub Scout knife. I quite like the design if not the appearance. I also know that prior to these being Chinese made, Camillus made this exact design for the Cub Scouts. The main blade is very traditional slip joint, but both the can opener and cap lifter have liner locks. My question is this- Does anyone know of another company or another model made at any time that shares this design but is not a Cub Scout knife with the Cub Scout logo on it?


 
Interesting. I never knew a liner lock scout knife was made. Would recovering/rehafting the knife be a viable option, leaving off the Cub Scout shield?

Yes, that could be a plan B. I am willing and have an ample supply of ipe (Brazilian ironwood) that would be fantastic but I lack experience.

I figured that with all of the history and patterns and companies/knockoffs that it was possible if unlikely that this was the only one...but it might be. My particular model is a good knife but not valuable, and even the Camillus version can be had on eBay for $10-20. However, if another model exists with this feature, me posting this here should find it. If nobody here has heard of it then I will be satisfied that it does not exist. I will be surprised, but satisfied.
 
I collect this model , and just so you know I found this exact model
with out the cubscout emblem on the handle scales,
otherwise it is identicle.
I found this at a local flea market this past summer.
In all honesty I never knew this model existed.
there is some kind of mark on the blade that I cannot make out.
 
The cub scout knife is a great pattern. What you seek may be out there, but I've never seen it. Would be interesting to find for sure. There are tons of really nice Camillus cub scout knives out there with good carbon blades for relatively low prices.
