The Beer Scout Knife

I've found you're better off trading amongst collectors than monitoring the popular auction sites.

Since it's now on my mind...I'd love to find a charred oak someday.

Well, I game for that for sure. Thanks for the advice, I am dropping some feelers on the trade exchange.

In some ways it’s a shame the beer scout knife has become a story of flippers and high auction prices, but I guess that’s inevitable.

For me they have a special significance. Here is a photo of one I gave to my younger brother back in Christmas 2015. I gave beer scout knives to my dad and older brother that Christmas too. They aren’t knife nuts like me but they all kept them.

When I go fishing in New Zealand I like to take my Dad’s beer scout with me in my pocket. It’s the only pocket knife he has and since airports and knives don’t mix, it’s the only knife I use. It’s my New Zealand fishing knife

These are some great memories and are what comes to mind when discussing the BSK.

I snagged a maroon micarta years ago, which got me into traditional. Is GEC ever running them again?

Read back in this thread- necer again. Boy Scout law suit threat.


Just hope that GEC will release a 15 cap lifter and call it something else.

I wish they had made some Beerlows on latest run of 15s.

….my green one here is not too much different from what you had done by Glenn, pulling nifebrite off a crown lifter and replacing with bone. Post a pick of your beauty!
