On the phone with my Mother today I'd mentioned seeing my Great Grandfather's SAK in a drawer at her house when I visited last Thanksgiving, she said she'd look for it and set it aside for me. While Mom was looking for the SAK she found another knife of his (farthest on the left), my old scout knife, and my Dad's Schrade! All of these await me when I visit for Thanksgiving this year. Any info on these knives would be greatly appreciated because I know nothing about that particular SAK, "pen knife", or the Camp King.

Nice bunch of knives you have there a couple look very familiar..

That Kamp King scout knife is the same exact one I have and it should clean up nicely...I'm 42 yrs old and it was my first knife when I was in the Boy Scouts.....I was about nine
when my dad bought that at the local K-Mart..Mine has held up well and is still servicable...

That Schrade is called the ClipHanger and I have two of them..One with a plasting thumb assist and one with a steel thumb assist..Both are great working knives and I carried one on active duty for 8-9 months before I bought something differant...Perfectly good lockblade I just was a typical young soldier and liked knives so I aquired a couple a year as my meager pay would allow......

All great knives. Not worth a ton to a stranger, but to you, they will be priceless. The SAK intrigues me...I don't know about that one.
 
The scales are synthetic, something between phenolic and celidor. Based on my limited research it's an early 1950's Wenger.
