Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

One very similar from Camillus...

I have a very similar Camillus Demo (military) knife of that vintage.
The can opener design was used very briefly in the mid 1940's, I believe.

All in honesty, still learning about traditionals. I have no idea how old this one is...Just received it last Saturday. Perhaps the forum experts can shine a better light (may be in need of more pics?). I did put an edge on it by sharpening very lightly but you can tell it's been very well used given there is no longer a choil in front of the kick.

In addition, the awl has a sharp point but the length is very dull. I'm going to try and sharpen both the can opener and the awl with a file in the coming days

Yikes, that is awesome!

Thank you! I really like this five blade Imperial. A solid knife loaded with tools.

Oops

So this HSB is probably by Imperial too.

About the size of a Cub or Girl Scout knife.

Same blades arrangement, same jigging, same size. If it quacks like a duck...

Posted this in up in the old knives thread but thought it should be here as well.

I am pretty pleased with this old Empire scout. Slanted bolsters, lovely bone, and still has its original blade etch. Knife was made sometime between 1910-1930

P&G - I love everything about this Knife- Beautiful Score! Just outstanding!

Incredible Empire specimen. So much character in that knife. And the bone!!!!!!!

Very nice. The slanted bolsters are a nice touch. I assume the knife was made sometime after 1910 since that is when Boy Scouts began in the USA.

I found this old Ulster Scout at a flea market last weekend. Blades were froze up, but there’s no flaws in the old bone. Soaked it a bit to loosen the crud and have been working on it here and there as time allows. I enjoy finding these old $5 treasures and making them usable again.

Nothing close to the age and beauty of those posted...but commemorative lol

Started building a small collection of ‘recent’ Remingtons. Hope to get my hands on some older ones but are finding it difficult to find.

*edit
Should say difficult to find for a price

Really looking forward to seeing the end result. Lots of life left in that knife

It’s coming along nicely. I’ll post some after restoration pics here soon.

Thanks yes, you are right the Goins book I have lists quite a broad range of time for the Empire knife company. But this one would have to have been made after 1910 and before 1930 which does narrow it down quite a bit.

Buckeye Sharp Outstanding Case there bud.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this Scout is one of few Patterns that RemingtonUMC had made by others, namely Boker, in this case!!?? Comparison pictures.
