Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

[GeofS]

Indeed it does, thank you. The catalog knife from '93 was a Winterbottom bone, so this is likely an SFO. There appears to be at least one SFO of these knives (with the round shield) circa 2004 (based on other knives I have seen), and I was trying to determine if this knife came from that order. It seems not. Does your red knife without the bail say 2004 on the blade?

Nice one, I like the jigging. Who do you think made it? I'm not good at identifying the different jigged bone sources, except for the obvious ones like NYKC and Schrade peachseed.

Waynorth, Are small scouts rare, or just Diamond Edge? I have a small, inexpensive Imperial, plastic scales, hollow tabbed bolsters, etc. that I mic'd at 3.4 inches long, not including the bail. (~3 13/32") I'm guessing you must have several in your extensive collection. Btw, I, too like that jigging.

I think they are pretty rare!! I believe I have one or two smaller Girl Scouts!!
Schrade Cut 3 1/4"!
These Remingtons are smaller than standard!!

I'm not sure myself!! Empire made a lot of Shapleighs, but this looks like someone else's work???

Just picked this up yesterday for $15 at the NC State Surplus Warehouse (TSA Confiscated knife). It was in very good overall shaped, so I just did a clean and polish and sharpened it.

Where the magic happens........

Your knife looks like the same knife as my D-E above. Duncan!! Confirms for me they are BOTH Empires!!

Thank you Charlie - I thought that as well when I looked at your stunning DE

This was my grandfathers who passed in 1987. He beat the snot out of it. I can remember him prying open paint cans with it.

I wish I had a Grandad who I knew and loved - then to have one of his knives would be quite the treasure.
At least my grandkids will have that - as I have given their Dads some nice Knives and hope to live to the day were I can gift my Grandchildren one of my very own special knives and hope they take to it

My grandfather was a good honest hardworking man. Left home at around 12 because his father died from TB. Rode the rails. Worked on oil tankers. Even jumped ship while going through the Canal. The Sheriff caught a bunch of guys along with him and put him on the next ship going through. Man I wish I could have been a bird following him around in his youth.

Any Scout would’ve been proud to carry this one on a camping trip…
