Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

[supratentorial]

The R1 catalog is from 1922 and it's possible that it wasn't made yet. I don't know one way or the other--just a possibility. Might be worth checking C-5 from 1925 and the second edition from 193...something.

That's a great trio of scouts!!! How do you like your Crosman? I picked one up from auction, really liking the size and features. I had really high hopes for it. Unfortunately, mine was pretty bad in both fit and finish. I always thought they were made by Camillus, but after looking at the awl, mine looks to be made by Utica...... on a very bad day. I'm so bummed.
?

The Crosman has reasonable fnf especially for the price. The delrin is slightly short on one side at the bolsters,1mm maybe. Has some up and down on the main when locked but not bad. Seems to hold well tho. The walk and talk is real good on all the blades. No half stops. I don't have any Utica knives to compare with. Haven't tried a beer bottle capyet...it does seem small. But enough tries on a cap will always get it off when you are thirsty

Good for you. It sounds like yours is much better than mine. Maybe I'll hunt down another one. I really like the features on that knife.

Forgot about this one. It's a Camillus Classic Cartridge .270, and like the Remington Bullet jumbo camp knife. Brown bone covers and 4-3/4" length.

A couple Camillus C4, a 5 blade and a 4 blade. There are R4's by Remington with same config..cause Camillus liked it that way.

Cuz Camillus used every darned part they had, to make knives they could sell, no matter how oddly they were stamped. LOL

Awesome knives. That's my all-time favorite up top.

Really enjoyed seeing so many wonderful old Scout and camping knives.
Lander Frary & Clark (LF&C) were licensed to make official Scout knives from around 1931 to 1939. Enclosed is one from that era.

That shield is a nice variation, Neal!
The knife looks in great shape - can you show the pile side of the blades, esp the punch??

Picked this one up for a five dollar bill. It resides permanently in the pack I take to work. I think this is some of my favourite jigging in my collection. MIBRO Scout knife.

 

[waynorth]

That Mibro jigging is quite interesting, jmarston. Almost looks done by hand.
Here's another Ulster, and I think my last Scout!
It's an official BSA, in pretty nice shape, with most of the main blade etch remaining, and a "Be Prepared" shield.

 

[wlfryjr]

Ulsters are one of my favorite old makers.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Last scout Mr. waynorth...we'll see about that my friend!

what is the age of those Beads Charlie- are they from the early bits that you have- and what Inuit Tribe - this is taking me back to our great day we had together in Vancouver's Great Museum!!

Beautiful doesn't quite cover it.

Dwight Divine was probably your Great Uncle, Lyle!!
Anyway, he was Great!!

Hey, Duncan, that's Nevada and New Mexico turquoise. A friend of mine strung and knotted the beads!

"Beautiful doesn't quite cover it."
A real compliment coming from you, Neal!!

 

[knowtracks]

Gorgeous Ulster Charlie!!! Love the bone and shield!!

Dave

P.S. I can stop anytime also......

 

[waynorth]

Thanks, Dave.
Wish I knew the secrets of making handles look like those!!

If not ,some of us knew him, I expect.

Here's a German rip-off of a Rhode Island rip-off of a SAK.

And a related item, a tool kit from Crown Cutlery Co of Germany.
