Yes, this Camillus pattern came without the awl. If this had an awl, it would never leave my pocket! I tend to gravitate more towards my Vic Pioneer or Farmer because, for me, the awl is so useful.
I'm a big fan of an awl as I mentioned many times,it is such a useful tool,I was using the awl on my 86hj to chip the ice out of the base of the windshield wipers and it was below 30 that I used it and put in my work coat full of snow hung coat in basement and 6 months later the rust and bone looked good enough to pass on to a buddy lol.nice if gec put out a camp or knife with a good awl
Again I think this was last pattern with an awl,the awl got a bit scratched up from digging weeds from the cracks of my walkway. But I always look for an awl Knife.
They did, but it was the length of a Scottish claymore.
I remember when those were released! I almost bought one, but I saw the size. I knew I’d never carry it. It’s still a great looking knife!They did, but it was the length of a Scottish claymore.
I have one of these, and to me the addition of a saw blade is a Big Plus. John
Fantastic collection! They’re really well made knives.Here are a few from my saw scout collection. Camillus produced them in various tool configurations for a number of different companies.
They really were well made. Camillus used the 5779 pattern for them, which was something like the 3rd or 4th generation of scout pattern for Camillus.
Mine came in a cardboard box. I got it years ago. I like the light pulls as well. They’re smooth opening knives. I always liked the A.G. Russell Scouts. I never got one though. I think I got a Benchmade AFCK insteadOh, one more thing. The Remington R-4 saw scouts came in a couple of different packages. You could get it in a cardboard box, but they also offered a deluxe wooden box that came with the knife, a belt buckle and a honing steel.
! I have another Camillus Scout. I gave it to my oldest son when he was a kid. He’s grown now and has his own place, but I think he left most of his older knives, here at our home. I’ll look tomorrow, after work, and see if I can find it. If so, I’ll post it!
Rough Ryder, BTI (offshore manufactured) Old Timer & Schrade, and (offshore made) Marbles, Still make them. Böker has one in their Magnum line, equipped with Rosewood covers. I don't know if Mikov still produces one. Marbles has (or had ... I've not checked availability this year.) two large Scout/Camp knives, about the same size as Charlie's Texas Camp Knife (2 examples shown above this page).

A great knife. I highly recommend ... provided you like a large knife.
Closed length of the two Marbles - not counting the bail - is over 4.25 inches.
Some of the Rough Ryders have one of the various 1900's to WW2 era can openers, rather than the current "Safety" can openers used on the Demo Knives ... can opener, and post WW2 Scout/Camp knives. Some variation of the RR are also equipped with the safety can opener.
