Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

[Fodderwing]

I would think before the Schrade Walden days Dwight... most likely Schrade Cut Co in the 1920s / 1930s. I found this one in the 1926 Schrade Cut Co catalog. Very cool scout you got there!

Thank you very much Kevin. That's great to hear! Cherri found it for her collection. She has a good eye.

I think Schrade made knives for Weck. Here is a later one than yours Dwight! It is surely a Schrade!!!
Yours (and both) ; surely Schrade Cut Co from before WWII!!

The jigging on yours I call "basketweave" and it predates the jigging on mine.

That's a great find by her I've been looking for the SCC version of that scout for a while (at a reasonable price ) and I definitely would've been happy with that one in lieu of the Schrade version (at a reasonable price of course ).

Every implement you need to survive!!

The scales appear to be "cracked ice"? All blades stamped except corkscrew and punch. Corkscrew is tapered. Steel liners.

That’s absolutely beautiful. I love the scales!!! The rest of the package ain’t to shabby either.

Thanks Buzz. Do you have an opinion as to whether this may be celluloid? And let me get Neal in on this question as well @herder.BTW - all steel liners

I just assumed it was celluloid, but I’m afraid I know next to nothing about dating German Bokers.

Corkscrew is tapered.

How's that for classy?
If the knife is as old as the pre-war style can-opener suggests, I would expect it to be celluloid.

Nice Boker my friend, I’m going to have a look in N. Punchard’s book BOKER.

That IXL is interesting- I am looking at that Punch - can I please ask you a favour?
Can You put up photos of the Front and rear of the Punch please- I am compiling photos of punches etc - and also can I ask that I retain copies of these Dwight?
Many thanks in advance my friend.

Here are a few from the collection:

Dwight - Thank you so much for that, I want to try and take stock of the different Punches out there- their Face sides- and if you are wondering why the rear? because there is quite a variety in the formation of the "Shoulders" etc.

eisman - Nice Group - loving those NYK's! in saying that also the Boker and that Peach-seed Schrade screams out also!

 

[eisman]

Thanks - I think one of the reasons I pick these up is the huge number of variations available. Even if you overlook the main blades you have dozens of different punches, can openers, even bails.
