The Beer Scout Knife

Was this limited run "Beer Scout" prior to the mods by Evan?

No, my understanding (as per necessary corrections/clarifications earlier in this thread?) is that Evan/Esnyx produced his first.

My use of the word O-riginal as a descriptor earlier is to indicate that this was GEC's first-ever inclusion of a caplifter in their #15 Easy-open, Sheepsfoot-mained Scout pattern-- the direct predecessor of the current, factory-produced GEC Beer Scout/Scout-with-caplifter runs we're celebrating in this thread.

Well look what showed up in my mailbox just at the right time! Thanks Barry! It seems better oiled that my other BSK's and beautiful grain and color!

This picture makes me want it... Awesome grain on that jorjor.

Cant get enough of this one. The easy open notch aids in a great grip. The snap is great and pull is a little touch north of 5 on the blade and 7 on the tool. Already touched up the blade to shaving sharp and its ready to go.

I scuffed up the pile side but pictures will wait till tomorrow with better light. Didnt really change texture with the 120 I had on hand. Just dulled it and I kind of like it. Debating on making the entire knife matte.

Anyways, a shiny new pic

My Beer Scout's finally arrived. I really like the cocobolo a lot.

The chestnut saw cut bone arrived too. It's a beautiful looking knife, but not without a problem. The second photo shows a chip in the bone.

Shorts my father had from the 70's I found today while moving, figured them perfect as a backdrop for a soda scout photo.

Jake : I'm disappointed, in the Royale they firmly believe that British Navy men used to open bottles with their teeth!

LOL! Ah, you can open bottles with those can-openers too

Back when it had a cork they probably did. I doubt if it would have been worth the effort tho

Sorry Jolipapa, I think I missed the point of your post I guess that compared to eating hardtack, the bottle-caps would be easy! :thumbup:

Those knives were actually issued to the Army though, in the Far East (Burma), towards the end of WW2 Apologies for taking the thread off course

I like the looks of this model a lot. Very nice!

The beer scouts and soda scouts have all come through looking good. Many different variations and I like them all.

+1! Especially the life is good part. Went camping with the family and beer scout this weekend.

I think it's just a character mark if it's the mark just to the right of the pivot pin. Obviously your call though.

I have to agree, unless I'm missing it I'm just seeing what can occur with a natural product such as bone. Beautiful knives, enjoy!
