Sorry Duncan...my mind was wandering. Don't know where Leon came from.J jnevill - you can't beat an old Scout eh1 - some time you should place these knives in this thread here- it's a great thread, and if you get bored one day- start going through it, there may be some loss in the earlier posts as we get now because of the change in the last image sight - but be patient as you go through and you will come across some nice knives in there by so m any of our Traditional friends here.
Let's see your Scout/Camp knives
So I did the usual searching and didn't find one cohesive thread to discuss the Scout/Camp knife style of knives (forgive me if there is one and I have missed it).

Rufus1949 - what a couple of handsome Woodens there! Nice!

My Craftsman must be an Ulster - made knife!! The similarities with yours are a strong indicator!! Very slight serpentine shape, similar Bone handles!!!?Finally received this Ulster stockman on Monday but I get home from work when it's almost dark, so I couldn't take pictures before ... All steel and a little lackkuster, I must say. But the bone is nice and the blades appear to be unsharpened. One can still see the etch on the main blade: Craftsman Hammer Forged 9528. 1940s, I assume?
