It has gotten out of hand again.

I just did a count of my U.S. issue WW2 knives and I counted 28 without duplicates. 5 fixed blades and 23 folders. Don't even want to count scout knives and SAKs now. A small collection by many's standards, but huge by mine.

L leghog It don't sound like its "gotten out of hand" to me.
It's just a case of you enjoying yourself and the N+1 is functioning just fine.
And I agree, never count the number of scout knives. If you ever do, you'll discover you still have a division of them to acquire, as you note which ones you don't have yet.

Do you count the Camillus "Demo" knife (and those made by other contractors, such as Western) strictly as a "Military Folder" or do you consider them a "Scout Knife" as well?
Do you have an example in both collections?

Yes, the Camillus MIL-K was an issue knife but not WW2 issue. Camillus' first MIL-K was from 1949. The Kingston and Stevenson are a different. They were issued in 1944 and 1945.
