Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

What is the most popular Boy Scout knife? Is there a general answer to this question or a it a silly question? Also, has GEC ever made a Boy Scout knife with main blade, can opener, bottle opener/screwdriver combo, and leather punch? I remember the Beer Scout.

Definitions: Official Boy Scout Knife, "boy scout knife," and 'scout' knife. All different. Some official Boy Scout Knives were not in the same pattern as the utility knives most people call scout knives or boy scout knives. Hint: They're all great.

Of official BSA knives, the most popular folder was the "Scout" pattern, like the actual folder issued to the Swiss Amy: can opener; cap-lifter-screw-driver; reamer or punch; main spear blade. Given the millions and millions sold over a century plus, the BSA folders, collectively, are likely the most popular "Scout" pattern folder. The most popular BSA fixed blade is probably the Western "Skinner."

Off the top of my head…
Charlie’s SFOs we’re the Burnt Orange bone (the one I posted), antique yellow bone, and cranberry bone.

Northfield variants were NACB bone, Smooth white bone, and king wood.

There was also a Cattle knife variant - no can opener - and a Whittler - big clip, pen, and coping. Those had other covers like Ebony.
